This novel is well suited for readers interested in queer and trans coming-of-age stories, psychological depth, and those drawn to unconventional crime and mystery tales with emotional nuance.
A queer coming-of-age novel about a girlhood interrupted by an eating disorder, only to twist into a genre-bending excavation of gender, identity, and literary mystery.

Description
A delightfully weird and very queer reimagining of 90s YA nostalgia. - Autostraddle
"Queer dynamite." - Kristen Arnett, author of Mostly Dead Things
Meet Margaret. At age twelve, she was head detective of the mystery club Girls Can Solve Anything. Margaret and her three best friends led exciting lives solving crimes, having adventures, and laughing a lot. But now that she's entered high school, the club has disbanded, and Margaret is unmoored—she doesn't want to grow up, and she wishes her friends wouldn't either. Instead, she opts out, developing an eating disorder that quickly takes over her life.
When she lands in a treatment centre, Margaret finds her path to recovery twisting sideways as she pursues a string of new mysteries involving a ghost, a hidden passage, disturbing desires, and her own vexed relationship with herself.
Margaret And The Mystery Of The Missing Body reimagines nineties adolescence—mashing up girl group series, choose-your-own-adventures, and chronicles of anorexia—in a queer and trans coming-of-age tale like no other. An interrogation of girlhood and nostalgia, dysmorphia and dysphoria, this debut novel puzzles through the weird, ever-evasive questions of growing up.
