Young Adult Novel "Infandous" Weaves Entrancing Contemporary Fairy Tale


Elana K. Arnold's latest young adult novel "Infandous," available in March 2015 from Carolrhoda Lab™, an imprint of Carolrhoda Books, a division of Lerner Publishing Group, is a dark and twisted tale of lust, love and lies.

Sephora Golding lives in the shadow of her unbelievably beautiful mother. Even though they scrape by in the seedier part of Venice Beach, she's always felt lucky. As a child, she imagined she was a minor but beloved character in her mother's fairy tale. But now, at sixteen, the fairy tale is less Disney (News - Alert) and more Grimm. And she wants the story to be her own.

Then she meets Felix, and the fairy tale takes a turn she never imagined. Sometimes, a story is just a way to hide the unspeakable in plain sight.

"Infandous" will grip readers from the first page as author Elana K. Arnold expertly and provocatively spins Sephora's life of straw into a story of gold.

Praise for "Infandous" by Elana K. Arnold:



"Raw and dreamy, tragic and brilliant, "Infandous" is both about a girl trapped within her own dark fairytale and the cruel fairytale that all girls are trapped inside." -Stephanie Kuehn, ALA Morris Award-winning author of "Charm & Strange"
