![]() ![]() Agent: Michelle Wolfson, Wolfson Literary. ![]() Parents you’re literally supposed to worship? Gross. White (Mind Games) uses her technical prowess with narrative forms to break up the story, and she brings an irreverent sense of humor to Egyptian myth. ![]() As a character, Isadora is (by design) fairly arrogant and self-absorbed, but she also has a point: it’s hard to understand why immortal parents would purposely give their child mortality. Isadora would rather think about how much she wants to spite her mother, redecorate every room she enters (she’s an aspiring interior designer), and not fall in love with the beautiful Greek boy, Ry, who’s hanging around. ![]() What the danger is and why it apparently follows Isadora to America is unclear, hinted at only in dreams. Until that point, Isadora lives in an ancient temple complex in the Egyptian desert-this is because her mother is the goddess Isis, and her father is Osiris. A captivating novel of first love, Egyptian mythology, and family, from the 1 New York Times bestselling author of And I Darken Isadoras family is seriously screwed up-which comes with the territory when youre the human daughter of the Egyptian gods Isis and Osiris. Sixteen-year-old Isadora talks a bit like a spoiled California teen, but she doesn’t actually become one until her mother sends her to San Diego to keep her safe. ![]()
