The girl from the sea

One summer can change everything. Morgan had her whole life planned out, until Keltie appeared like a tidal wave. Molly Knox Ostertarg, bestselling author of the Witch Boy trilogy, brings you The Girl from the Sea, a sapphic graphic novel about love, friendship, and family, and about embracing who you are, especially to yourself.

Morgan knows exactly what she wants to do: graduate from high school and move as far away from the small island where she lives as possible. It's just a matter of surviving until then, and in the meantime, dealing as best she can with her recently divorced mother, her annoying younger brother, and her group of best friends. No one really knows Morgan, and she intends to keep it that way until she can move somewhere—anywhere—where she can finally be herself.

All of Morgan's carefully laid plans are literally thrown into disarray with the emergence of Kelpie, a mysterious girl who turns Morgan's world upside down. Falling in love wasn't a choice, but it feels as inevitable as it is certain. Secrets will come to light, whether Morgan is ready for them or not.

A summer romance unlike any other, The Girl from the Sea is a story of love, friendship, and family from the brilliant imagination (and pen) of Molly Knox Ostertag.
