The Deep Dark by Molly Knox Ostertag
dark
emotional
informative
inspiring
mysterious
fast-paced
4.5
The perfect allegory for queerness, being a teen and the secrets we keep.
This gorgeous story shows us we don't have to fight our demons, we can embrace them. We don't have to fight them alone. There is always a way to find the light in the dark and even the dark in the light. They live with in each other. Ostertag shows this beautifully both in illustrations and through her story telling.
I cannot recommend this book more to anyone trying to find their way. Both kids and adults.
