It will take all of her courage and perseverance to survive her family drama as their dark secrets come to life. 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, The Floating Girls is stunning southern fiction, a wonderfully atmospheric coming-of-age family drama told from the perspective of a fierce 12-year-old 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. 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. Her voice stuck with me long after I finished reading. If I met Kay on the street, I'd beg her to be my best friend." ―Tiffany Quay Tyson, award-winning author of The Past is Never"A cracking story that unfolds in gorgeous prose in the stultifying heat of the American South." ―Hayley Scrivenor, author of Dirt Creek"Fans of Where the Crawdads Sing will love this immersive mystery set against the salty air of Georgia's marshes. In Patrick's atmospheric prose, the water and its characters come to life." ―Lindsey Rogers Cook, author of Learning to Speak Southern
