El parque temático que la dinastía de los Bigtree, domadores de caimanes, posee en una de las pantanosas Diez Mil Islas frente a las costas de Florida sufre un duro revés con la muerte de Hilola Bigtree. Ésta, madre de tres hijos, era la estrella del parque gracias a sus arriesgados y espectaculares números con los caimanes; para colmo, a unos kilómetros, acaba de inaugurarse un sofisticado competidor, el parque temático Universo Oscuro. La familia empieza a desmoronarse: el Jefe Bigtree, ahora viudo, parece ausente... y acaba, efectivamente, ausentándose; Kiwi, el hijo mayor, se pasa a la competencia en un intento por mantener a flote el negocio familiar, y Ossie, la segunda, empieza a tener extrañas visiones. De modo que Ava, la pequeña, una adolescente de trece años, queda a cargo de noventa y ocho caimanes en medio del vasto y desolador paisaje de su dolor, pero con una conmovedora energía para afrontar cualquier peligro.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • PULITZER PRIZE FINALIST • The bravely imagined, wildly acclaimed debut novel from the author of Vampires in the Lemon Grove—about a thirteen year old girl who sets out on a mission through magical swamps to save her family. "Ms. Russell is one in a million.... A suspensfuly, deeply haunted book." —The New York Times Thirteen-year-old Ava Bigtree has lived her entire life at Swamplandia!, her family’s island home and gator-wrestling theme park in the Florida Everglades. But when illness fells Ava’s mother, the park’s indomitable headliner, the family is plunged into chaos; her father withdraws, her sister falls in love with a spooky character known as the Dredgeman, and her brilliant big brother, Kiwi, defects to a rival park called The World of Darkness. As Ava embarks on her mission to save them all, we are drawn into a lush debut that takes us to the shimmering edge of reality.

Here is the debut short story collection from the author of the Pulitzer Prize finalist Swamplandia! and the New York Times bestselling Vampires in the Lemon Grove. In these ten glittering stories, the award-winning, bestselling author Orange World and Other Stories takes us to the ghostly and magical swamps of the Florida Everglades. Here wolf-like girls are reformed by nuns, a family makes their living wrestling alligators in a theme park, and little girls sail away on crab shells. Filled with inventiveness and heart, St. Lucy''s Home for Girls Raised by Wolves is the dazzling debut of a blazingly original voice.

Charting loss, love, and the difficult art of growing up, these stories unfurl with wicked humour and insight. Two young boys make midnight trips to a boat graveyard in search of their dead sister, who set sail in the exoskeleton of a giant crab; a boy whose dreams foretell implacable tragedies is sent to ''Sleepaway Camp for Disordered Dreamers'' (Cabin 1, Narcoleptics; Cabin 2, Insomniacs; Cabin 3, Somnambulists. . . ); a Minotaur leads his family on the trail out West, and finally, in the collection''s poignant and hilarious title story, fifteen girls raised by wolves are painstakingly re-civilised by nuns. These ten extraordinary stories introduce an audacious new talent, and a world in which weird and wonderful predicaments magically reveal the truth of our own lives. A blazingly original voice, a dazzling debut, a breathtaking discovery.
