All of Us with Wings

Synopsis

This young adult fantasy debut about love, found family, and healing is &“a fantastical ode to the Golden City&’s postpunk era,&” told through the eyes of a Mexican-American girl (Entertainment Weekly). &“Complex and beautiful, blending folklore, San Franciscan history, the music scene, vampires, magic . . . hard to put down.&” —School Library Journal Seventeen-year-old Xochi is alone in San Francisco, running from her painful past: the mother who abandoned her, the man who betrayed her. Then one day, she meets Pallas, a precocious twelve-year-old who lives with her rockstar family in one of the city&’s storybook Victorians. Xochi accepts a position as Pallas&’s live-in governess and quickly finds her place in the girl&’s tight-knit household, which operates on a free-love philosophy and easy warmth despite the band&’s growing fame. But on the night of the Vernal Equinox, as a concert afterparty rages in the house below, Xochi and Pallas perform a riot-grrrl ritual in good fun, accidentally summoning a pair of ancient beings bound to avenge the wrongs of Xochi&’s past. She would do anything to preserve her new life, but with the creatures determined to exact vengeance on those who&’ve hurt her, no one is safe—not the family Xochi&’s chosen, nor the one she left behind.
