Join Kansas City, Kansas Public Library’s Youngbloods Online Book Club to discuss this month’s creepy and enchanting fiction selection, “Fiendish” by Brenna Yovanoff.
Members will also get a chance to read a question-and-answer between library staff and Yovanoff.
“Fiendish” is a strange and magical tale: Clementine DeVore spent 10 years trapped in a cellar, pinned down by willow roots, silenced and forgotten.
Magic is a fearsome and hopeful thing. For Clementine, magic is what imprisoned her and magic is what saved her life. When terrifying and unexplainable things began to happen in the town of New South Bend, the townspeople turned on her kind – the magical families who got their power from the strange and terrible fiends in the woods of Wixby Hollow.
Seven-year-old Clementine was sealed in a cellar, told to hold still and sleep. Ten years later she is discovered and released by a boy named Fisher. Now a teenager, Clementine and Fisher must figure out exactly what happened all those years ago and why, before something terrible happens again.
