YA
Scotch just wants to cure the strange sticky black spots on her skin and win the local dance-off. But when a volcano erupts in Lake Ontario, throwing Toronto into chaos, she must navigate a hallucinogenic world to make things right. Although the multicultural cast is likable and relatable, the various plot threads never quite coalesce into a harmonious whole.
