Overview
Sweet Tooth meets The Raven Boys in this queer young adult contemporary fantasy about what it means to belong from H.E. Edgmon. You can never go home ... Every day, all across the world, inhuman creatures are waking up with no memory of who they are or where they came from--and the Caravan exists to help them. The traveling community is made up of these very creatures and their families who've acclimated to this new existence by finding refuge in each other. That is, until the morning five teenage travelers wake to find their community has disappeared overnight. Those left: a half-human who only just ran back to the Caravan with their tail between their legs, two brothers--one who can't seem to stay out of trouble and the other who's never been brave enough to get in it, a venomous girl with blood on her hands and a heart of gold, and the Caravan's newest addition, a disquieting shadow in the shape of a boy. They'll have to work together to figure out what happened the night of the disappearance, but each one of the forsaken five is white-knuckling their own secrets. And with each truth forced to light, it becomes clear this isn't really about what happened to their people--it's about what happened to them. ""Edgmon dazzles in this supernatural mystery novel ... A captivating fable of belonging and intergenerational trauma.""--Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)

Author Information
H. E. Edgmon was born in the deep south but has had many homes, dropped out of school to do gay stuff, and is at least a little feral. In both their writing and daily life, they aim to center the voices of Indigenous people, trans people, and survivors of trauma. It is always their goal to make fascists uncomfortable. They have an eccentric little family of their own design, several very sensitive pets, and a lot of opinions. Vico Ortiz is a proud Latine/x non-binary/gender-fluid actor, narrator, and activist born and raised in Puerto Rico. They received their education at The American Academy of Dramatic Arts in Los Angeles. Their first breakthrough role was in the hit Amazon series Transparent, which paved the way to TV appearances in shows such as Vida, American Horror Story: 1984, and Lucifer. They received a 2021 Queerties Award nomination for their series regular role in the award-winning digital series These Thems.
