The Shadow Girl by Misty Mount Thirteen-year-old Zylia Moss has always felt invisible in her overcrowded home. But when her reflection disappears from mirrors and her body begins fading entirely, she learns it's not just a feeling-it's a dangerous supernatural condition passed down through her family. Dragged into the In Between, a haunting parallel realm where forgotten souls are trapped in shadows, Zylia encounters her great-aunt Angelica, who vanished decades earlier. To return to the world of the living, Zylia must make herself seen-truly seen-before the darkness erases her forever. But returning home doesn't end her troubles. Her family is unraveling-her grandmother's dementia is worsening, her sister is bullied by her best friend, and her brother is drifting into dangerous territory. Armed with the strength she earned in the In Between, Zylia fights to help her loved ones, even as the threat of vanishing returns-and another student begins to fade. A gripping blend of young adult fantasy, coming-of-age drama, and supernatural suspense, The Shadow Girl explores themes of invisibility, self-worth, mental health, and the power of being seen in a world that often looks the other way. Perfect for fans of parallel world fantasy, emotional realism, and teen protagonists who must fight to reclaim their voice. Praise for Misty Mount: "I loved everything about this book!
