Author of A Comb of Wishes Lisa Stringfellow returns with a West African–inspired fantasy about a girl who is determined to return both magic and justice to her people—and whose destiny holds more surprises than she could ever imagine.

Lisa Stringfellow writes middle grade fiction and has a not-so-secret fondness for fantasy with a dark twist. She is the author of two books for young readers, Kingdom of
Dust and A Comb of Wishes, which Newbery Award–winning author Kelly Barnhill called “one of the most promising works of fiction in a long time.” Lisa writes for her
twelve-year-old self, the kid waiting to be the brown-skinned hero of an adventure, off saving the world. Her work often reflects her West Indian and Black southern heritage.
Lisa is a middle school teacher and lives in Boston, Massachusetts, with her children and bossy cat.
