Quick/Low Stakes Reads!
Do you sometimes just want to wind down and forget about the world around you? Same! That's one of the great things about reading, it gives you the opportunity to live other lives and experience different things that you might not ever be able to in real life! But sometimes there will be heavy/depressing books that will be hard to get out of a slump from☹️. And that's what this list is for! These are low stakes, easy/comfortable reads that just let your emotions be for awhile. Enjoy! 😉

Running Away or Running Home
Books I read when I was younger and wanted to run away. They made me feel strong when I was having a hard time at home. Recommendations for teens who feel lost alone sometimes.
Featuring: • Middle grade, YA, Adult • Female or non-binary protagonist who survives alone in the wild • Seeking family or escaping • Realism and SFF

If you're a completionist, read in this order. Otherwise you can start with The Liveship Traders Trilogy or The Rain Wild Chronicles, but make sure you save Fitz and the Fool for last.

An introduction to the Fantasy genre, these books are part of the cultural zeitgeist or the 'canon' that many would recognize. Look for more niche titles in later Starter Pack volumes.
