OLDER FICTION
Williams, Lori Aurelia

When Kambia Elaine Flew in from Neptune

246 pp. | Simon | April, 2000 | Trade ISBN 0-689-82468-8 $$17.00
(2) YA Williams weaves two tales in the first-person narrative of twelve-year-old Shayla: the story of Shayla's older sister and her sexual awakening; and the story of Kambia, Shayla's soon-to-be best friend, whose fantastic stories of transformation hide her real-life abuse. Inventively voiced if not always convincing in its narrative particulars, this first novel serves notice of a writer to watch.
