520    "Atmospheric and lushly detailed, Demi-Gods captures the 
       wonder and menace of adolescence in ways both unsettling 
       and profound."--Christina Baker Kline, #1 New York Times 
       bestselling author of Orphan Train and A Piece of the 
       World "A brutally beautiful coming-of-age story that sings
       with language as lovely, wild, and full of ominous longing
       as the young woman at its center." --Robin Wasserman, 
       author of Girls on Fire It is 1950, and nine-year-old 
       Willa's sheltered childhood is about to come to an end 
       when her mother's beau arrives with his two sons to her 
       family's summer home in British Columbia. As Willa's older
       sister pairs off with the older of these boys, Willa finds
       herself alone in the off-kilter company of the younger, 
       Patrick. When, one afternoon, Patrick lures Willa into a 
       dilapidated rowboat, Willa embarks upon an increasingly 
       damaging relationship with Patrick, one that will forever 
       reconfigure her understanding of herself. Demi-Gods traces
       the tumultuous years of Willa's coming-of-age as she is 
       drawn further into Patrick's wicked games. Though they see
       each other only a handful of times, each of their 
       encounters is increasingly charged with sexuality and 
       degradation. When Willa finally realizes the danger of her
       relationship with Patrick, she desperately tries to 
       reverse their dynamic, with devastating results. Daring, 
       singular, and provocative, Demi-Gods announces the arrival
       of one of the most exciting new voices in contemporary 
       literature
