Summary
Summary
Author Jenny Valentine earned a chorus of critical praise with this dark and humorous debut novel. Fifteenyear- old Lucas Swain hasn't seen his father for five years. One day, his dad just vanished-and nobody else seems too concerned. Things get even stranger when Lucas discovers an urn. The ashes inside are a woman named Violet, and she has messages from the beyond to share. "Everyday quirkiness brings the secondary characters to life as distinct individuals, and fortuitous turns in the plot lead to the answers to Lucas's critical questions. Charmingly told, this mystery manages to be both frothy and nourishing."-Kirkus ReviewsAuthor
Author Bio: Jenny Valentine
Jenny Valentine studied English literature at Goldsmiths College, which almost put her off reading, but not quite.

Fire Color One, Jenny’s follow-up, has been nominated for the prestigious Carnegie Medal. Jenny is married to a singer/songwriter and has two children.
