Legendary

Reach for this book when your teen is navigating the complexities of high stakes promises or struggling to balance loyalty to family with their own growing need for independence. Legendary centers on Donatella Dragna, a young woman who must enter a magical, high stakes competition to pay off a debt and uncover a secret identity. While the setting is a whimsical world of magic and games, the heart of the story focuses on the weight of secrets and the difficult choices one makes to protect those they love. This YA fantasy is ideal for ages 13 and up, offering a sophisticated exploration of trust and moral ambiguity. Parents will appreciate how the story moves beyond simple heroics to show the messy, often frightening reality of keeping a family safe. It serves as an excellent bridge for teens who enjoy mystery and romance but are ready for deeper themes regarding sacrifice and the masks we wear in public versus private life.
