Love in the time of global warming

Seventeen-year-old Penelope (Pen) has lost everything-her home, her parents, and her ten-year-old brother.

Like a female Odysseus in search of home, she navigates a dark world full of strange creatures, gathers companions and loses them, finds love and loses it, and faces her mortal enemy.

In her signature style, Francesca Lia Block has created a world that is beautiful in its destruction and as frightening as it is lovely.

At the helm is Pen, a strong heroine who holds hope and love in her hands and refuses to be defeated.
