2009 Cybil Award Nominee

Madison Sabatini thought she knew who she was: an A-student at a good suburban high school with a plum position as the yearbook photographer and a future filled with unlimited possibilties. Then, in a flash, everything changed. Now she’s stuck in Sandyland, a gloomy beach town in the middle of nowhere, living with her parents in a crappy hotel “suite” and hanging out with pink-haired Delilah, an artist who works in a shop called Psychic Photo, and a skater boy named Duncan who’s totally not her type. Except, maybe he is…

​

Determined to make the best of things, Madison throws herself into her greatest passion: photography. But when strange figures start appearing in her photos, she begins to question everything about who she is…and who she wishes she could be.
