Sissy is a new girl in her West Country school, and she recently arrived with her troubled mother, who is prone to letting Sissy fend for herself. But from the day Sissy fights a boy in front of Tegan, she is no longer alone. Bonded by violence, they grow so close they feel like one being: wrapped around each other in bed at sleepovers, sending photographs to men they meet online, and scaring each other with reports of the girls being snatched at night in their town. Over the course of the school year, they find themselves on the threshold of girlhood, with threats gathering thick and fast around them. And as their make-believe worlds bleed into their daily lives, Sissy feels herself transforming into something strange and terrifying. Amphibian is a tender, haunting coming-of-age debut about desire, precocity, and the intensity of early friendships that have the power to upend our lives.
