The Lost Coast

The Lost Coast introduces Danny, a teen who feels out of place until she moves to Tempest, California. There, she discovers the Grays, a coven of queer witches who embrace their identities and powers. Danny is drawn into their world when they reveal she has a unique ability to help find their missing, powerful leader, Imogen. However, their quest quickly turns dark with the discovery of a dead boy, hinting at a dangerous force lurking in the ancient redwood forests. This book beautifully weaves together themes of self-discovery, found family, queer identity, and a compelling supernatural mystery, set against a lush, atmospheric backdrop. It's ideal for young adults navigating their own identities and those who love a blend of contemporary realism with rich fantasy.

Danny didn't know what she was looking for when she and her mother spread out a map of the United States and Danny put her finger down on Tempest, California. What she finds are the Grays: a group of friends who throw around terms like queer and witch like they're ordinary and everyday, though they feel like an earthquake to Danny. But Danny didn't just find the Grays. They cast a spell that calls her halfway across the country, because she has something they need: she can bring back Imogen, the most powerful of the Grays, missing since the summer night she wandered into the woods alone. But before Danny can find Imogen, she finds a dead boy with a redwood branch through his heart. Something is very wrong amid the trees and fog of the Lost Coast, and whatever it is, it can kill. -*Inside cover.*
