Description
Description
Penelope Ross has always felt like a passenger in her mother's fairytale - until the night of her 17th birthday, when she is forced to enter her own.
After a text from her estranged mother rips her away from a night with friends, Penny is forced into a kaleidoscope of memories locked inside the dark labyrinth of her childhood home. As Penny wanders between present and past--prose and verse--she must confront her mother's opioid addiction to mend her fractured past. But the house is tricky. The house is impossible. It wants her to dig up the dead to escape. And as Penny walks through herself to find herself, she is not sure she has the courage to free the light she trapped inside.
About the Author
About the Author
Adina King is a Maine girl through and through. She received her MFA in writing for children and young adults from Vermont College of Fine Arts, a magical realm where she met her second family. When she isn't writing or covered in dirt from Olympic yard work, she can either be found hanging out in her classroom with amazing humans, or wandering the forest and talking to inanimate objects. Her natural habitat includes one or more of the following: roller skates, big dogs, mountains, chickadees, and really excellent food. She longs for the day book censorship is no longer a thing.
