Ixora Mara, Sourhouse

Meer over het boek

Ixora Mara invites her only friend Suzie to her seventh birthday party and Suzie promises to come. But Suzie does not come. Instead, she disappears from Peaside Pasture. When Ixora fixates on Suzie s empty house across the street, wondering where Suzie has gone, she feels a sensation like a burst lime spreading through her body, turning her sour. As she spends the next two decades of her life staring at Suzie's empty house and waiting for Suzie to return, Ixora struggles to slow the lime juice from engulfing her body - her sour house. Must she forever be a walking lime? Or when others start disappearing from Peaside, can Ixora control her sour long enough to single-handedly fight back at the thing she calls The Miaplambo?
