Teens go through a difficult time just existing or growing up but some more than others. Morpho Wilson was not your typical teen. Her demeanor and outer appearance are quite remarkable and would definitely stand out. Those looking at her with her blue hair and unique type of dress might think she fit right in with the other kids in her school. But, life was hard for her.

I've been a fan for awhile for books that combine myths and gods with the modern world. This book is another interesting example of that type. The best part is that the gods involved are not the ubiquitous Greek gods that everybody knows. The teenage main characters were very engaging and I would love to read more about them.

I'm actually interested in this one. Not only do I recognize the name Pazuzu from the Exorcist (and Futurama!), but it sounds like it might be a decent read.
