Acclaimed author Betsy Franco and her talented son collaborate on a hip YA novel of \"epic\" proportions.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Life. Love. Death. Identity. Ovid's got a lot on his mind, and he pours it all -- as confessions, observations, narrative poems, and drawings -- into the pages of a notebook. Inspired by his namesake, he wryly records his classmates' dramas as modern-day Roman mythology. There's Sophie and Caleb, the Psyche and Cupid of cyber-couples; poetic Paula, who pursues filmmaker Franny like Apollo chasing Daphne; and graphic novelist Duwayne, a Proserpina shuttling between divorced parents. Meanwhile, Ovid hides his own Olympian struggles: his meth addict sister Thena has run off, leaving him with a suffocating home life and a disturbing secret. In her striking YA debut, Betsy Franco introduces an expressive soul with a heartbreakingly authentic voice. Fantastical ink illustrations by her son Tom Franco enhance the intimate tone, delving deep into one intriguing teen's imagination.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50364458205457,"sku":"CIN0763637653G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0763637653.jpg?v=1750818041","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/metamorphosis-book-betsy-franco-9780763637651","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
