Monsters are in the eye of the beholder. Rosa suffers from a rare
condition that renders her mute. She lives on the strange island of
Mirasol where the rain never seems to stop. In the gloom of the
island, its superstitious population are haunted by all sorts of
fears . . . they shun people who suffer from Rosa's condition,
believing them to be monsters. So Rosa must live hidden away in an
isolated house with its back to the rest of the world, with only
the internet for a social life. But Rosa has no desire to leave
Mirasol. This is where her mother died and every night she lights a
candle on the windowsill. The islanders believe this is the way to
summon ghosts, and Rosa wants her mother back. One day she is
befriended by a boy online who calls himself Ansel95 - and she
quickly realizes that this is one friendship that can take place in
the real world. Can she really trust him? What does he want from
her? And then Mother turns up at the front door. From the author of
the critically-acclaimed Tall Story comes a haunting, intense and
moving novel which weaves myths and ghosts into a modern setting.
As Rosa's social life blossoms, how will she seize the freedom to
be who she really is?
