The Splintered Light by Ginger Johnson is here! The Splintered Light follows Ishmael (who lives in a black and white world) who is prompted to leave his farm when he sees a spectrum of color. He wonders if his absent brother might hold some answers, so he goes on a journey, eventually locating Luc in the Hall of Hue, working to become a Color Keeper. In his black and white world, could Ishmael become a Color Keeper, too? This will hit the mark for fans of The Giver. Don’t believe me? Look at all the shiny blurbs!
