The Shamer's Daughter

Reach for this book when your child feels like their sensitivity is a burden or when they are struggling with the social pressure to fit in at the expense of their honesty. In this gripping Nordic fantasy, ten-year-old Dina has inherited her mother's magical gift: the ability to look into people's eyes and see the things they are ashamed of. While this power makes her an outcast among peers, it becomes a vital tool for justice when her mother is framed for a royal murder. It is a sophisticated exploration of integrity and the courage required to see the truth in a world of secrets. Best for ages 10 to 14, it offers a powerful metaphor for high emotional intelligence and the weight of moral responsibility.
