YA
In one day, Deena comes out as gay to her sister Rachel, she's overheard by their intolerant father, and her beloved sister Mandy disappears off a cliffside. Has the infamous family curse come around? Deena is certain Mandy's alive and crisscrosses Ireland with three others on an exploration of her family's troubled past. This is a harrowing and ultimately empowering story of characters who reject the shame and stigma others try to impose on them.

Six troubled teenagers in a small Irish town use an ancient spellbook to right their situations. But they quickly discover they may have summoned some possessions--and people--they rather had stayed hidden. Told from three of the protagonists' viewpoints, this arresting novel walks the line of real and surreal, and when the stories finally collide, the twists and turns come fast and furiously.
