YA
After seventeen-year-old Delia's mother dies, she ditches foster care to find her way to Trespass Island, where she discovers her supernaturally aquatic roots among demigods and sea creatures. Though certain plot points feel familiar--the love triangle smacks of Twilight--the coastal Maine setting evokes a true sense of place, and the world Guibord builds is both convincing and compelling.
