From debut author Alexandra Mae Jones comes a compelling, nuanced
exploration of bi identity and body image with a ghostly
backdrop-perfect for fans of Nina Lacour. Still reeling from a
recent trauma, sixteen-year-old Dell is relieved when her mom
suggests a stay at the family cabin. But the much-needed escape
quickly turns into a disaster. The lake and woods are awash in
trash left by a previous tenant. And worse, Dell's mom has invited
her boyfriend's daughter to stay with them. Confident, irreverent
Ivy presses all of Dell's buttons--somehow making Dell's shame and
self-consciousness feel even more acute. Yet Dell is drawn to Ivy
in a way she doesn't fully understand. As Dell uncovers secrets in
the wreckage of her family's past--secrets hinted at through
troubling dreams and strange apparitions--Ivy leads her toward
thrilling, if confusing, revelations about her sexuality and
identity. Set during a humid summer in the mid-2000s, The Queen of
Junk Island simmers with the intensity of a teenage girl navigating
the suffocating expectations of everyone around her.
