Fia And The Last Snow Deer by Eilish Fisher

Fia and her reindeer, Solas, share a deep bond, having been born under the same solstice sky. As their village faces a relentless winter, the community sees Solas as both a source of sustenance and a key to fulfilling an ancient prophecy that promises the return of sunlight. Determined to protect Solas, Fia and her cousin Mish embark on a journey to find the Deer Mother, a mythical figure believed to awaken the sun. Their path is fraught with challenges and lurking dangers, but they hope to find a way to save Solas and restore light to their world. Set in a snowy, prehistoric Ireland, this story explores themes of hope, friendship, and resilience.

Ranking Details:

Our ranking system awards points to books based on their appearance and position on curated lists. Here's how it works:

Unranked Lists: For lists without specific rankings, each book receives points equivalent to the list's weight. This approach recognizes the book's inclusion on prestigious lists.

Ranked Lists: Books on ranked lists receive points in two ways:

  • Base Points: Initially, every book is awarded points equal to the list's weight, acknowledging its significance.
  • Bonus Points: Additionally, books earn bonus points based on their ranking. The total bonus pool, equal to 100% of the list's weight, is distributed among the books, with higher-ranked books receiving more points.

Exponential Distribution: The distribution of bonus points follows an exponential model. This means the top-ranked book (#1) receives significantly more bonus points than those further down the list (e.g., #100). Our algorithm ensures that higher placements are rewarded more generously, reflecting the achievement of a top rank on any given list.

This scoring system ensures that each book's ranking reflects both its presence on multiple lists and its positions within those lists, providing a comprehensive measure of its acclaim and popularity.
