Synopsis "A Sky Full of Dragons"

For younger fans of Witchlings and Eva Evergreen comes a light-hearted and whimsical middle grade fantasy about a young girl who must save her witch aunt from an uncommonly voracious hat. Where dragons take flight, through the dark of the night. Where the fire ignites, you will find the light. Aunt Cauldroneyes is always looking into cauldrons. She's found everything from giggling moons to troll nose rings, but when she looks inside a purple cauldron one stormy night, she finds a girl with blue freckles. The old witch raises the girl and names her Spella. They live in Hungry Snout Forest in a crooked house with doors enchanted to smell like chocolate. In the attic full of floating fabric and biting buttons, Aunt Cauldroneyes teaches Spella how to make magical hats for creatures like unicorns and dragons, giants and goblins. When Spella turns eight, she receives an invitation to Dragon's Knob, a school for wand witchery and wizardry. But on the very night Spella is set to leave, a stranger appears with a growling hat that swallows Aunt Cauldroneyes and steals her away! To rescue her aunt, Spella must go up into a sky full of dragons and to her new school. With protesters outside the gates threatening the school's academic freedom and a deepening mystery within the walls, Spella and her new friend Tolden are thrust into the mystery of her aunt's disappearance and a long-buried secret hidden somewhere in the school.

Tiffany McDaniel es una autora estadounidense nacida en Ohio, conocida por su prosa poética y su habilidad para explorar temas oscuros como la pérdida, el dolor, la enfermedad mental y la violencia familiar. Criada en una zona rural del estado, gran parte de su obra se inspira en su entorno y en experiencias personales, lo que aporta una atmósfera intensa y melancólica a sus novelas.

Debutó con The Summer That Melted Everything (2016), una historia perturbadora que fue bien recibida por la crítica y ganó varios premios. Sin embargo, alcanzó mayor reconocimiento con Betty (2020), una novela basada en la vida de su madre, Betty Carpenter, que mezcla hechos reales con elementos de ficción. Betty fue aclamada internacionalmente por su sensibilidad, su fuerza narrativa y su retrato honesto de la pobreza, el racismo y el trauma infantil.

McDaniel también es poeta y artista visual, y ha dicho que escribe desde una edad temprana, guiada por la necesidad de dar voz a lo silenciado. Su estilo literario se caracteriza por un lirismo crudo y poderoso, con personajes complejos y profundamente humanos.
