You may be alone here; i have never read this book before. I feel like the closest to it is The Giver and To Kill A Mockingbird

of this one series but I remember reading it as a middle schooler in the early-00's and it was about a group of children with supernatural abilities. one girl was telepathic and listened to metal to drown out peoples thoughts, and there were some dark creatures that caused magnetic disturbances (paperclips made a big appearance) and now that I've written it out it sounds quite a bit like stranger things. but also, Redwall Captain Underpants Animorphs Incarnations of Immortality (which was v much not age appropriate mom what were you thinking) The Wheel of Time series The Dark Tower series

Roald Dahl was and still is one of my heroes. His strange, dark, silly stories helped me to feel understood as a child and like I was taken seriously as a human. I felt respected by him and he challenged me. I just discovered Emerald Fennel wrote a children‘s novel.

Did you read these as a kid? I did! A Wrinkle in Time is fairly ubiquitous but I was always fixated on A Swiftly Tilting Planet, where the gang ends up with defiant mitochondrial mice dancing a death dance around a sacred tree. They also go fuck around at Noah's Ark in Many Waters. The memory of these books are opaque to me as an adult and I plan on doing a deep read this year where I reread and then try to understand L'Engle's meaning while comparing and contrasting about the values I took from them as a kid. A very complex and readable children's series, low fantasy, soft sci-fi, shades of religious ecstasy.
