Sign in for personalised guidanceA fast-moving London quest places a blind heroine at the centre of a supernatural crisis. Its strongest offering is Ella’s practical experience of blindness, alongside friendship, family tensions, mythology and a high-stakes struggle against darkness.
Ella uses her experience of navigating without sight to help others during the blackout, while also managing ordinary school, friendship and family life.
Ella hopes the period of darkness might prompt changes in accessibility and in how people treat her; she is also heckled by a passenger.
Ella undertakes the quest with her sister Poppy and best friend Finn, with support from her family; Poppy is also dealing with social-media preoccupation.
Expect peril, darkness, an attacked adult, a threatening mythological god, and a journey involving dangers. A passenger heckling Ella is also mentioned, so social hostility may merit attention.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: some draft conclusions still depend on unresolved evidence.
