Wink Poppy Midnight | April 13, 2016

by April Genevieve Tucholke (Dial, Penguin Young Readers Group, March 2016)

Every story needs a hero.
Every story needs a villain.
Every story needs a secret. 

April Genevieve Tucholke is best known for her thriller and horror novels – most recently she was a contributor to Slasher Girls & Monster Boys – but Wink Poppy Midnight feels more like you’re walking inside someone else’s dream. This novel is magical realism at it’s finest. Without spoiling this deliciously creepy mystery, the novel follows three separate narrators, the book’s namesakes, and how there lives have twisted together.

Queen B Poppy has been pulling on Midnight’s heartstrings for as long as he can remember. That is until Wink comes into his life, pulling Midnight into a world full of long summer afternoons and the possibility that there may be a little magic out there. Now their three lives are intertwined, and not everyone is going to get what they want.

Perfect for fans of Bone Gap, We Were Liars and the Raven’s Cycle Series.
