S.M. Parker lives on the coast of Maine with her husband and sons. She works as a literacy advocate and holds degrees from three New England universities. She can usually be found rescuing dogs, chickens, old houses, and wooden boats. She has a weakness for chocolate chip cookies and ridiculous laughter—ideally at the same time. The Girl Who Fell was her first novel. Find her at ShannonMParker.com.
“The feminist ghost story you’ve been waiting for.”
*Bustle*
"An evocative backdrop of life as a lobsterman grounds the
supernatural elements, and Rilla’s steeliness shines—she’s the kind
of captain readers will eagerly follow. History and mystery meld
beautifully in this ghost story with depth."
*Kirkus*
"Parker’s vivid descriptions of life on Maine’s coast and the
lobstering business ground a haunting and atmospheric tale about
the sea and reckoning with a community’s past."
*Publishers Weekly*
"With a strong main character, a well-developed supporting cast,
and illustrative story-telling, the author has succeeded in meshing
multiple genres into one extraordinary YA novel."
*School Library Connection*
