Kuhusu kitabu hiki cha kusikiliza
This heartfelt and quirky young adult fantasy debut follows a young outcast on a journey of transformation . . .
into a robot vacuum cleaner.
A fresh twist on Japanese mythology that doubles as a deep, honest dive into mental health.
“I wish to become one of those round vacuum cleaner robots.” That’s what Machi prays for at the altar of
Japanese goddess Benzaiten. Ever since her two best friends decided they want nothing to do with her, Machi
hasn’t been able to speak. After months of online school and a carousel of therapists, she can no longer see
the point of being human. She doesn’t expect Benzaiten to hear her prayer, much less offer a different prayer
on Machi’s behalf—that Machi discover the beauty of humanity, ultimately restoring her to her previous self.
Benzaiten is enamored with the human world and, as she’s the goddess of love, humanity is enamored right
back. Being second-best once again isn’t helping Machi move past her trauma, and with each adventure they
share, Machi is reminded of everything she’s lost. It isn’t until Machi starts interacting with the souls of the
dead—which tends to happen around Benzaiten—that she starts to rediscover her place among the living.
From an author to watch, The Lost Souls of Benzaiten is a highly original debut about the nature of happiness
and the potential for healing.
