Drifting Light

by Kendall Clarke

Growing up in her treetop, jungle society, Lirah has never been one to follow the rules. She has an endless desire to explore, to find what lies beyond her small and secluded village. One evening, her mother comes to her with news of a their society will soon be under threat from mysterious forces. Lirah attempts to save her people, but when she is not only dismissed but punished for trying to help, she decides to see whether there is more to her world than just the Treetop Society. With a few friends and her ailing mother, Lirah makes a desperate plan to forge her own path.

Embarking on a journey of discovery into a world that is more wondrous, terrifying, and magical than she had ever imagined, Lirah must contend with vicious animals, conniving allies, fierce battles, oppressive landscapes, fantastical technology, and fears about what her own visions are beginning to show her of the future.

A coming-of-age, sci-fi fantasy with richly-detailed worldbuilding, characters full of heart, jaw-dropping twists, and introspective moments, Drifting Light is a YA adventure you won’t want to miss.

My family did a family reunion in Steamboat in August of 2023 and my dad went to the bookstore in town and got this book signed for me and my sister. I read the back and I was so interested. I loved everything about this book. The adventurous, fantastical elements were fantastic. The world building was amazing. I could picture the Forest where everything took place so well! I fell in love with the characters so quickly and I absolutely adored the family dynamics. This book needs more hype(and a sequel!). I forgive the author misspelling my name when she signed it because it was so good!
