17 Marigold Lane in Bloomington, MN

After discovering the lump in her bicep is deadly, 17-year-old self-proclaimed loser, Prudence Penderhaus, weaves the tale of Flintlock, a small town known for Friday night football, rainy days, and recently, secrets. Her dry humor, and undying affinity for film, books, and music, meld into a quirky, Burton-esque backdrop of cloudy skies and looming architecture. When a moment of long-awaited courage brings her to the porch of the town's "spook house", uncovering ​an odd boy no one knew existed is only the beginning.

Never even bothered to look up. Until the day I found out I was dying.
