Quick Summary
In Woven by Jensen, Michael and David Powers King, a ghost pairs with a princess to hunt for an ancient Needle with the power to restore what has been destroyed, racing against time before the ghost fades away forever in a realm where magic and mortal stakes collide. The story explores themes of sacrifice, unlikely alliances, loyalty tests, and the desperate fight against one's own extinction while navigating dangerous quests and emotional betrayals. This book stands out with its unusual premise of a ghost as a protagonist and the mending theme that sets it apart from typical fantasy quests.

It is ideal for middle schoolers in 6th through 8th grade who read at a 4.8 AR level and enjoy thick fantasy novels around 95,000 words with some mature content.
