★”Cashore threads fiction with fact in a three-generational story of love, loss, and friendship…. [A] must for all collections.—SLJ, starred review

“Cashore’s command over language and her incredible mind for extraordinary ideas are reminiscent of Madeleine L’Engle. There Is a Door in This Darkness contains the wonder, and the ideas it holds are bigger than words.”—Courtney Summers, New York Times bestselling author of Sadie and I’m The Girl

“How do we get through hard and confusing times? There Is a Door in This Darkness shows us the way with charm, heart, and a sprinkle of magic. This story of family, friendship, and love is told with some very timely essentials: kindness, compassion, and empathy.”—Deb Caletti, National Book Award Finalist and Michael L. Printz Honoree

“Cashore’s work is alive to the wonder of this world—grounding you in it one aching, perfect page at a time. Wilhelmina is a mighty main character whose adventures leave an indelible glow. Also, this book has the best magical aunts ever written.”—A. R. Capetta, Lambda-Literary-award-winning and bestselling author

“Cashore’s novel is rich with a quality of observation and multifarious detail that suits adolescent angst, loss, and the limited stimulation of pandemic ‘bubbles.’… Although set in the recent past, this is a work of historical and magical realism with unsettling contemporary resonances.”—Horn Book

“A nimbly braided slice-of-life tale.”—PW

“An in-depth character study with wonder as a subtle but steady undertone.”—Booklist
