Girl Defective

In the tradition of High Fidelity and Empire Records, this is the literary soundtrack to Skylark Martins strange, mysterious, and extraordinary summer.This is the story of a wild girl and a ghost girl; a boy who knew nothing and a boy who thought he knew everything. Its a story about Skylark Martin, who lives with her father and brother in a vintage record shop and is trying to find her place in the world. Its about ten-year-old Super Agent Gully and his case of a lifetime. And about beautiful, reckless, sharp-as-knives Nancy. Its about tragi-hot Luke, and just-plain-tragic Mia Casey. Its about the dark underbelly of a curious Australian neighborhood. Its about summer, and weirdness, and mystery, and music. And its about life and death and grief and romance. All the good stuff.
