LEGENDS BITE BACK

Lemon Ziegler wants to escape rural Devil’s Elbow, Pennsylvania to attend
college—but that’s impossible now that she’s expected to impersonate the town’s
lake monster for the rest of her life. Her family has been secretly keeping the
tradition of Old Lucy, the famed (and very fake) monster of Lake Lokakoma, alive
for generations, all to keep the tourists coming. Without Lemon, the town dies,
and she can’t disappoint her grandparents . . . or tell her best friends about
any of it. That includes Troy Ramirez, who has been covertly in love with Lemon
for years, afraid to ruin their friendship by confessing his feelings. When a
very real, and very hungry monster is discovered in the lake, secrets must fall
by the wayside. Determined to stop the monster, Lemon and her best friends are
the only thing standing between Devil’s Elbow and the monster out for blood.
