Soaring Scales - Myrrha Murphy

Margaret has always felt like an outsider, trying hard to fit in. It never made it easier that through every stage of her life, she's always had odd, surprising, magical experiences, later making her realize she's supernaturally gifted in ways she would have never expected. She sees things that others miss, and not always pleasant, like Shadow Weavers, possessive entities that try to take control of different beings and realms. Trying her best to protect her unsuspecting mom from their tricks, Margaret has to find a way to get rid of them and save many trapped in their possession along the way.  

Her heroic journey takes her through dimensions and realms both on Earth and beyond, where she meets mystical creatures and new friends who help her better understand herself and her gifts. From discovering young children enslaved in a technological coding camp to perceiving a young girl's inner, hidden world of parental abuse, she's able to navigate difficult situations with strength and courage. Although she felt quite different from other children her age, she was able to befriend another young, magically gifted girl and an otherworldly creature who proved quite helpful on her mission to dissolve the destructive, chaotic shadow weavers.

This book is a great story for young women who feel that there is more to life than the everyday. Not only does it explore the inner psychological machinations of young women, but it does so in a creative, whimsical way. The heroine, Margaret, although she begins with a sense of isolation, sets out to explore and understand what could be the pinnacle of strength and courage as she embarks on a boundary-pushing journey that leads her to discover her own abilities and utilize them to help others.
