The Island of Excess Love

216 pp. | Holt/Ottaviano | August, 2014 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8050-9631-6 $16.99
(3) YA Pen, her lover Hex, and the others, holed up in Pen's Los Angeles house since the events of Love in the Time of Global Warming, are forced to flee on an enchanted ship that takes them to a mysterious island with an antler-headed young king. Like its Odyssey-inspired predecessor, this lyrical post-apocalyptic sequel makes intriguing (loose) parallels to Virgil's Aeneid.
