It will take all of her courage and perseverance to survive her family drama as their dark secrets come to life in the wake of a small-town murder. One hot, sticky summer in Bledsoe, Georgia, twelve-year-old Kay Whitaker stumbles across a stilt house in a neighboring marsh and upon Andy Webber, a boy about her age. He and his father have recently moved back to Georgia from California, and rumors of the suspicious drowning death of Andys mother years earlier have chased them there and back.Kay is fascinated and enamored with Andy, and she doesnt listen when her father tells her to stay away from the Webbers. But when Kays sister goes missing, the mystery of Mrs. Webbers death--and Kays parents potential role in it--comes to light. Kay and her brothers must navigate the layers of secrets that emerge in the course of the investigation as their family, and the world as they knew it, unravels around them.At once wickedly funny and heartbreaking, perfect for fans of Kim Michele Richardson, The Floating Girls is a stunning southern mystery, a wonderfully atmospheric coming-of-age family drama told from the perspective of a fierce 12-year-old marsh girl--reminiscent of a modern-day Scout Finch--as she unravels the secrets that threaten her entire family.Praise for The Floating Girls: "A powerhouse of a Southern novel.
