In the tradition of "High Fidelity "and "Empire Records," this is the literary soundtrack to Skylark Martin s strange, mysterious, and extraordinary summer.
"This is the story of a wild girl and a ghost girl; a boy who knew nothing and a boy who thought he knew everything."
It s a story about Skylark Martin, who lives with her father and brother in a vintage record shop and is trying to find her place in the world. It s about ten-year-old Super Agent Gully and his case of a lifetime. And about beautiful, reckless, sharp-as-knives Nancy. It s about tragi-hot Luke, and just-plain-tragic Mia Casey. It s about the dark underbelly of a curious Australian neighborhood. It s about summer, and weirdness, and mystery, and music.
"And it s about life and death and grief and romance. All the good stuff.""
