Dominique Valente

Dominique Valente is an author born in South Africa, known for the Starfell series of middle-grade fantasy novels. Beginning with Willow Moss and the Magic Thief and continuing through Willow Moss and the Lost Day, Willow Moss and the Forgotten Tale, and Willow Moss & the Vanished Kingdom, the series follows a young witch with the unusual and underestimated magical ability to find lost things, as she is drawn into larger adventures across the whimsical world of Starfell. Valente's fiction is aimed at younger middle-grade readers and blends classic quest-fantasy structure with humor and inventive, small-scale magic systems.
