Hetty, Reese and Byatt live at an all-girls boarding school on an island in Maine. Strange things have been happening to the crabs and the flowers near the school and then to the girls themselves. Many don't live and those that do have growths, bruises, hands that go silver, eyes that fuse shut, a second spine or heart. The island is placed under quarantine and the girls lives become sparse as there is not enough food or supplies to go around. And the girls keep becoming sicker.
If you like horror stories, this story might be the right book for you. It isn't so much BOO! scary but it does leave one's stomach churning as events roll along. There is a missing girls, and a race to find her. Good and evil - and who know what is what.
This is a Flume nominee for 2020/2021
