OLDER FICTION
McQuerry, Maureen Doyle

The Peculiars

(2) YA In an alternative late-nineteenth-century American West, eighteen-year-old Lena Mattacascar seeks her long-absent father, who is rumored to be a goblin. This novel brings the era of territorial expansion vividly to life with nods to various genres--romance, mystery, Western, steampunk--even as it deals with the timeless young adult themes of coming of age and being true to yourself.
