Welcome to Oddity, New Mexico, where normal is odd and odd is
normal. Ada Roundtree is no stranger to dodging carnivorous
dumpsters, distracting zombie rabbits with marshmallows, and
instigating games of alien punkball. But things haven't been the
same since her twin sister, Pearl, won the town's yearly
Sweepstakes and disappeared. Along with her best friend, Raymond,
and new-kid-from-Chicago Cayden, Ada leads a self-given quest to
discover Oddity's secrets, even evading the invisible Blurmonster
terrorising the outskirts of town. But one of their missions goes
sideways, revealing something hinky with the Sweepstakes . . . and
Ada can't let it go. Because, if the Sweepstakes is bad, then what
happened to Pearl?
2019 Washington State Book Awards Finalist in Biography &
Memoir On the morning before Halloween in 2007, Sarah receives a
phone call from her husband's arborist colleague: Matt, her spouse
of seven years and father of their two small children, has been
severely injured by a falling tree branch while working in a
neighborhood east of Seattle. Visions of their future go dark as
she learns to care for the man she depended on for support. Faced
with choices about how to behave through this unexpected journey,
she takes as many steps back as she does forward and begins a rite
of passage she never imagined.
