Description

Deeply satisfying and rich in atmosphere, Midnight Robber is a grand tale that will appeal to readers with its unique blend of Caribbean culture and fantasy. Nalo Hopkinson's narrative voice shines through, bringing complex characters to life with elegant prose. As Carnival celebrations unfold on the planet Toussaint, masked "Midnight Robbers" weave their magic, but for Tan-Tan, a young girl's life is forever changed when her power-corrupted father commits an unforgivable crime. With monstrous creatures from folklore as real as they are feared, Tan-Tan must find the heart of myth and claim the legendary powers of the Robber Queen to save herself and set her free. With its haunting descriptions of exotic worlds and a stirring story, Midnight Robber is a compelling read that will transport you to a world of wonder and magic.
