Sapphic romance meets comedy horror in this slasher mystery where the final girl is also the legendary school mascot—Peaches the Parrot.
Quinn Marcelo wouldn’t necessarily win the award for Most Popular Person at her school, but unbeknownst to her peers, Quinn entertains them at every football, basketball, and baseball game—as Peaches the Parrot, her high school’s God-like mascot. But when someone sabotages the legendary Peaches costume at the Homecoming game, Quinn’s left unmasked and humiliated. After all, Peaches’s identity was a closely guarded secret and a point of pride for nearly everyone at Olivia Newton-John High.
Determined to uncover the culprit, Quinn publicly unravels the lives of everyone in her path—including Tessa Banks, the most popular girl in school—in a no-holds-barred conspiracy-fueled investigation. But when a killer starts going after the people implicated in Quinn’s mascot disaster, she must race to uncover the truth behind her feathery faux pas—before the truth kills her too.
Genre: Young Adult Fantasy
