OLDER FICTION

Storm-Wake

(4) YA Moss and her sorcerer father are shipwrecked on an island in a world swallowed by floods. As Pa gathers magical stormflowers to harness the weather, Moss falls for wild boy Callan and discovers a world contrary to Pa's stories. Character development is thin and hyphenated descriptors are overused, but this atmospheric story--inspired by Shakespeare's The Tempest--emphasizes the scrim between reality and dreams.
