Synopsis
A marsh girl with secrets. A Southern summer soaked in mystery. A story as haunting as the marsh itself. Twelve-year-old Kay Whitaker sees more than the adults around her want to admit. Life in the heat-heavy swamps of Bledsoe, Georgia, is always complicated--especially when your family is barely holding itself together. Her mother's attention is fading. Her father's warnings are sharp. And the weight of being the only girl in a house of boys feels heavier by the day. Then a stilt house appears across the creek. And with it, a boy named Andy Webber--quiet, strange, and followed by whispers about his mother's suspicious drowning. Despite her father's firm warning to stay away, Kay can't resist him--or the mystery surrounding his family. But when her own sister disappears without explanation, Kay's search for answers unearths more than she's ready to face. As old rumors resurface and long-buried truths rise with the tide, Kay finds herself navigating a world of adult secrets, fractured loyalties, and a community quick to bury its past. What she uncovers will test her courage, her voice, and the very meaning of family. Told from a perspective both fierce and fragile, The Floating Girls is a Southern Gothic coming-of-age thriller that blends lyrical prose with emotional suspense. Lo Patrick's debut is an atmospheric masterpiece about the price of truth, the ache of growing up, and the enduring pull of the past. Praise for The Floating Girls: A Publishers Weekly Starred Review Townsend Prize finalist "A powerhouse of a Southern novel. At once a poignant coming-of-age tale, a murder mystery, and an evocative tribute to the marshlands of Georgia. Lo Patrick is a standout new Southern voice." --Andrea Bobotis, author of The Last List of Miss Judith Kratt "Kay is the smartest, funniest, most curious young narrator I have come across in some time." --Tiffany Quay Tyson, author of The Past is Never "Fans of Where the Crawdads Sing will love this immersive mystery set against the salty air of Georgia's marshes." -- Lindsey Rogers Cook, author of Learning to Speak Southern, "A masterly achievement." - Publishers Weekly STARRED review "Many readers are looking for the next Where the Crawdads Sing , and will find The Floating Girls ...is a close cousin." - Augusta Chronicle Fierce 12-year-old Kay can't ignore the problems surfacing in her troubled home--or the mysterious marsh outside. 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 Andy's mother years earlier have chased them there and back. Kay is fascinated and enamored with Andy, and she doesn't listen when her father tells her to stay away from the Webbers. But when Kay's sister goes missing, the mystery of Mrs. Webber's death--and Kay's 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.
