Luna Nightshade isn't like other children in Willowmere-and everyone knows it. With her glowing orange-gold "lantern eyes" and an unsettling ability to see things others can't, eleven-year-old Luna has always felt different. But when she discovers her grandmother's mysterious teacups and receives an invitation written in starlight, Luna's world transforms from merely unusual to utterly magical. **Midnight tea parties with shadow creatures. Keys that unlock doors between worlds. A singing teacup that holds ancient secrets.** As Luna learns to navigate her heritage as a Keeper of Shadows, she uncovers a family legacy stretching back generations-one that comes with both extraordinary gifts and terrible dangers. When the sinister force known as the Forgetting begins systematically erasing magical beings from existence, Luna must find the courage to protect not just her shadow-folk friends, but the very essence of wonder itself. **From enchanted libraries hidden beneath ancient trees to gardens where lost memories take root and bloom, Luna's journey will teach her that the most powerful magic isn't about casting spells-it's about creating connections, preserving stories, and building sanctuaries for those who have nowhere else to belong.** Perfect for readers who loved *The House in the Cerulean Sea*, *The Ten Thousand Doors of January*, and *The Starless Sea*, this enchanting middle-grade fantasy celebrates neurodivergent protagonists, found family, and the radical power of acceptance.
