D, the youngest and main character, is still reeling from the loss of his mother and his entry into the foster care system. Hakeem is a star ball player, but Muslim, so he, too, knows what it&#8217;s like to stick out. Nyla, an army brat and free spirit(and a crush for both of them)\u00a0 gets tangled up in a centuries-old plot with them when D finds an injured bird that appears to be so much more.<\/p>\n<p><i>Ship of Souls<\/i>\u00a0is fantasy tale with a different sort of beat, wildly imaginative and poignant. It is short, and, frustratingly, seems to be missing some pieces that would make it outright amazing. Recommended, but it would be nice to see an expanded version in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Contains: violence, racial slurs\/language<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>**Vault Reviews were posted previously on the main MonsterLibrarian website and are transferred here in an effort to preserve our history.
