Twelve-year old Mia has always dreamed of being an umbra tamer.

I thought this was a super fun and quick past creepy middle grade. I loved the drarkness of the community as a element. I also loved the adventure type elemenet that occured at the heart of this novel!! It also had a such a soild brother and sisters dynamics! I also liked how the main character did not nesscary want to have the flashy job and delt with fear thougout this read. I also loved the characters that were deveoped a bit a quest like element in this story and the found family dynamics that we saw!! I enjoyed this read and would loved to read more books set in this world. I think the ending was a tad rushed but it was fun read!! ( )
