"Close to perfect, beautifully limpid, but also with great power and that elusive quality of strangeness" Carnegie Medal Winner - Anthony McGowan

Follow Hazel Hawthorne as she navigates her parents' separation, hunts for Bigfoot along North Carolina's coast, and grapples with sleeping sickness and other lurking dangers. Faith Shearin takes us on a ride through folklore, fairy tales, tragedy, grief, and healing in this riveting novel-in-stories.
