But the much-needed escape quickly turns into a disaster. The lake and woods are awash in trash left by a previous tenant. And worse, Dell's mom has invited her boyfriend's daughter to stay with them. Confident, irreverent Ivy presses all of Dell's buttons--somehow making Dell's shame and self-consciousness feel even more acute. Yet Dell is drawn to Ivy in a way she doesn't fully understand. As Dell uncovers secrets in the wreckage of her family's past--secrets hinted at through troubling dreams and strange apparitions--Ivy leads her toward thrilling, if confusing, revelations about her sexuality and identity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSet during a humid summer in the mid-2000s, \u003cem\u003eThe Queen of Junk Island\u003c\/em\u003e simmers with the intensity of a teenage girl navigating the suffocating expectations of everyone around her.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eALEXANDRA MAE JONES\u003c\/strong\u003e is a queer writer based in Toronto.
