From the Newbery Honor-winning author of Elatsoe and A Snake Falls to Earth comes a tale of three cousins brought together by the world of creatures, ghosts, and murderers that surround their trailer park.

Recensioner i media

★ "Genre-defying, fantastical, and imbued with deeply human realism, this narrative is grounded in the vulnerability, resiliency, and bravery of young people as they overcome hardship and right historical, generational, and systemic wrongs. A magical story that both haunts and enchants.” –– Kirkus (starred)
