Morgan James YA Fiction, 2024

In Discovering Ataraxia, Allie and her brother, S.J. - who has Autism Spectrum Disorder – are ushered into an alternate world, where they find two kingdoms on the brink of battle: the peace-loving Ataraxia and the hostile Malvelnia led by wily King Wendigo. Insights gained in this alt-universe will come in handy as Allie and S.J. face their own struggles in their new hometown of Lakeshores, North Carolina, where they come face to face with bullies, cliques, and adjustment pains every kid can relate to. As Allie and her brother get to know their new classmates, some become friends while others display hurtful behavior that is typical for tweens and teens who are figuring out how to express themselves and perceive others. These age groups are grappling with asserting their unique personalities, but insecurities often provoke ugly behavior that at its worst can be quite harmful to others. Discovering Ataraxia tells an entertaining story that teaches tweens and teens to see the importance of their choices. Current surveys of this age group reveal that the issues of bullying, body shaming, and thoughts of suicide are prevalent. This story seeks to highlight avenues of hope and light in a world often steeped in darkness, while inspiring young people to be strong and courageous individuals.
