From the acclaimed author of A Lily in the Light comes a poignant story of innocence lost and what it means to grow up too fast.
THEY LONGED FOR CHANGE, BUT WHEN IT FOUND THEM, ALL THEY WANTED WAS TO GO BACK.
It’s 1965 and 13-year-old Gia, along with her older brother and cousins, are desperate to escape their sleepy, tree-lined neighbourhood where nothing ever happens. The only thing Gia would miss is the surrounding marsh, where she feels at home among sea birds and salt water.
But when one of Gia’s cousins brings drugs into their neighbourhood, it sets off a chain of events that quickly turn dangerous. Everyone will be caught in the ripples and some may be swept away entirely. Gia is determined to keep herself and her family afloat while the world is turned upside down around her. Can she find a way to hold on to the life she was so eager to leave behind, or will she have to watch it all disappear beneath the marsh forever?
At turns heart-wrenching and hopeful, A Frenzy of Sparks explores a world where survival is the attempt to move forward while leaving pieces of your heart behind.
