Orchard of the Fox - Paperback

by Kassandra Keator (Author), Sophie Morse (Illustrator)

Adelie, a girl about to enter her last year of high school, deals with Absorbism, a shape-shifting condition. It's been inherited from her father, who has been missing from her life for many years due to his own struggles with the disease. She lives with her mother, who has forced them to move several times to escape the media, but also to keep her daughter on a tight leash.

After settling into their newest town, she discovers it is not what it seems. She meets a boy named Owen, who is also not what he seems. Together, they must join forces to change themselves-and the town-for the better.

Set within the fictional Northern Michigan town of Orchard Hill, follow Adelie as she is torn between familial hardships, medical struggles, and a fear of opening up her heart to others.
