The Realm of the Lost by Emma Eden Ramos is a middle-grade fantasy novel about a 13-year-old girl, named Kat Gallagher, who is feisty and responsible. She’s got younger siblings, Ellie and Colm, and a home life that is not what it once was, but she takes it on her own shoulders to care for her little brother whose sick a lot of the time. Her and Ellie, on the other hand, act as sisters should, especially sisters who share a room. They bicker over space, and one day on the way to school, all of the tension boils over on the streets of New York City.
An accident changes everything for Kat, and she finds herself in a place that is disconcerting to say the least. Here, she meets Rosario and Mikey, her brother and sister in the realm, and she must contend with Miss A, her realm mother. Between the Tallyman, the mysterious forests, and the creepy dark mists that come out at night with Apate, Kat must navigate a strange and frightening world. What makes this world believable is Ramos’ ability to ground her characters in a place and time, despite their strange surroundings.
