Francesca Zappia – illustratör

»En gripande skildring av depression och ångest och nätburen vänskap.« | Kirkus Review I verkligheten är artonåriga Eliza Mirk blyg, knepig, smart och helt utan vänner. På nätet är hon däremot en supersuccé: under sitt alias LadyConstellation skriver och ritar hon den otroligt populära serien Monstrous Sea som har miljoner fans och läsare. Eliza kan inte ens föreställa sig att hennes riktiga tillvaro ska kunna mäta sig med den hon lever i på nätet åtminstone inte förrän Wallace Warland börjar på hennes skola och Eliza inser att den verkliga världen kanske inte måste vara så hemsk ändå. Men så råkar Elizas alter ego bli avslöjat, och allt ställs på spel: hennes serie, hennes relation till Wallace och hela hennes tillvaro. 

En perfekt bok för alla som älskar Noelle Stevensons Nimona och Rainbow Rowells Fangirl.

“A darkly humorous, rapid-fire read.” —Kirkus Reviews

Stranger Things meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer in this contemporary novel from Francesca Zappia, the acclaimed author of Eliza and Her Monsters.

When Zora Novak is framed for a crime she didn’t commit, she must track down the true culprit and clear her name before it’s too late. But in a small town obsessed with ghosts, getting people to believe the truth might prove to be impossible.

When someone burns down the home of the school janitor and he dies in the blaze, everyone in Addamsville, Indiana, points a finger at Zora. Never mind that Zora has been on the straight and narrow since her father was thrown in jail. With everyone looking for evidence against her, her only choice is to uncover the identity of the real killer.

There’s one big problem—Zora has no leads. No one does. Addamsville has a history of tragedy, and thirty years ago a similar string of fires left several townspeople dead. The arsonist was never caught.

Now, Zora must team up with her cousin Artemis—an annoying self-proclaimed Addamsville historian—to clear her name. But with a popular ghost-hunting television show riling up the townspeople, almost no support from her family and friends, and rumors spinning out of control, things aren’t looking good. Zora will have to read between the lines of Addamsville’s ghost stories before she becomes one herself.

Acclaimed author Francesca Zappia has a perfectly pitched teen voice that shines in this inventive novel. Now Entering Addamvsille is perfect for fans of Brittany Cavallaro, Victoria Schwab, Riverdale, Truly Devious, and The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.

Includes interior spot illustrations from the author.
