The False Sister by Briar Ripley Page
It’s 1994, and Jesse Greer’s troubled older sister, Crys, has run away from home. Shy, socially awkward Jesse assumes that she has returned to her old haunts in the big city — until he discovers Crys’ remains in the woods behind his family’s house. Traumatised, Jesse runs to his parents for help, only to find that Crys has returned home, alive.

Folklore mythology meets dark suburbia in this tale of growing up queer in 90’s USA. This novella has crossover appeal for YA fantasy and features a 12-year-old protagonist. It occupies the grey space between YA fiction and fiction for adults focused on child characters.

The Stepford Wives by Ira Levin meets Welcome to the Dollhouse dir. Todd Solondz and The Blair Witch Project.
