Charting loss, love, and the difficult art of growing up, these
stories unfurl with wicked humour and insight. Two young boys make
midnight trips to a boat graveyard in search of their dead sister,
who set sail in the exoskeleton of a giant crab; a boy whose dreams
foretell implacable tragedies is sent to 'Sleepaway Camp for
Disordered Dreamers' (Cabin 1, Narcoleptics; Cabin 2, Insomniacs;
Cabin 3, Somnambulists. . . ); a Minotaur leads his family on the
trail out West, and finally, in the collection's poignant and
hilarious title story, fifteen girls raised by wolves are
painstakingly re-civilised by nuns.
