Product Information

After her life is upended by divorce and a cross-country move, 16-year-old Saskia Brown feels like an outsider at her new school. While visiting her only friend at her part-time library job, Saskia encounters a vial of liquid mercury, then touches an old daguerreotype - and discovers she is able to visit the man in the portrait. The hitch: she can see him only in her dreams. Saskia shares her revelation with some classmates, hoping to find friendship. At night, the girls visit the boys in their dreams. During the day, they hold clandestine meetings of their new secret society. At first, the Mercury Boys Club is a thrilling diversion from their troubled everyday lives, but it's not long before jealousy, violence, and secrets threaten everything.

Reviews
Praise for Mercury Boys " Mercury Boys has daguerreotypes and dashing strangers, hiding spots and crossed lines. It's full of secrets and fraught with danger. Ultimately, it's like mercury itself--mesmerizing, terrifying, thrilling, and dangerously beautiful. It's pure alchemy." --Carrie Firestone, author of The Loose Ends List and The Unlikelies " Mercury Boys is a thrilling journey into the perils of adolescent friendship and a touching commentary on love's timelessness." --Tochi Onyebuchi, author of Beasts Made of Night and Crown of Thunder "With vividly drawn, multidimensional characters and a riveting voice, Mercury Boys weaves a compelling tale of the intoxicating power of friendship, female rivalry, and romance." --Kate Marshall, author of I Am Still Alive, soon to be a major motion picture "In this snapshot of modern teenage life with a historical twist, Prasad creates a world as haunting as a daguerreotype and as vivid as a high-resolution photo. An exhilarating and thought-provoking ride that will make you think twice next time you're thumbing through a photo album." --Michael Belanger, author of The History of Jane Doe "For history buffs and hopeless romantics alike, Mercury Boys is a compelling, imaginative romp that will leave teen readers longing for an alternate reality--and a Mercury Boy--of their own." --Natasha Friend, author of How We Roll and Perfect "The concept of 'mean girl' time travelers has enormous cinematic potential, particularly as it is tethered to the zeitgeist. In Mercury Boys , Chandra Prasad shows her unique ability to give voice to the acute angst of today's adolescents, caught between the malaise of contemporary society and an inchoate yearning for the values and romance of the past." --Amy Adelson, Motion Picture/Television Producer of Above Suspicion and You Know My Name "A unique and thought-provoking YA magical realism, Mercury Boys is an unexpected story about group culture and friendship with an intriguing combination of past and present." --Young Adult Books Central "When everyone learns about her mom's affair with a substitute teacher half her age, Saskia and her dad move from Arizona to Connecticut for a fresh start. Saskia is having trouble adjusting to her new reality and doesn't feel like she fits in at school; she's an outsider, mixed race, and not rich...Prasad explores power dynamics among teen girls through an interplay of various influences such as wealth, appearance, and race." -- Kirkus Reviews "This well-researched speculative narrative centering history, romance, and toxic friendships will appeal." -- Publisher's Weekly "A secret society shifts from exciting to toxic in this dark tale with hints of magic . . . This story is layered and unique; the surface-level concepts of time travel and secret ­societies will draw readers in, but the jealousy and desire for ­revenge that fuel the secret society add depth and unexpected elements to the plot." -- School Library Journal, Praise for Mercury Boys " Mercury Boys has daguerreotypes and dashing strangers, hiding spots and crossed lines. It''s full of secrets and fraught with danger. Ultimately, it''s like mercury itself--mesmerizing, terrifying, thrilling, and dangerously beautiful. It''s pure alchemy." --Carrie Firestone, author of The Loose Ends List and The Unlikelies " Mercury Boys is a thrilling journey into the perils of adolescent friendship and a touching commentary on love''s timelessness." --Tochi Onyebuchi, author of Beasts Made of Night and Crown of Thunder "With vividly drawn, multidimensional characters and a riveting voice, Mercury Boys weaves a compelling tale of the intoxicating power of friendship, female rivalry, and romance." --Kate Marshall, author of I Am Still Alive, soon to be a major motion picture "In this snapshot of modern teenage life with a historical twist, Prasad creates a world as haunting as a daguerreotype and as vivid as a high-resolution photo.

In fact, the supernatural aspects of the novel take a backseat to intense, and sadly all-too familiar, high school drama . . . Mercury Boys has a clear supernatural component with the leaps into the worlds of the daguerreotypes, but the major tension exists in the real world." -- Locus Magazine "A unique and thought-provoking YA magical realism, Mercury Boys is an unexpected story about group culture and friendship with an intriguing combination of past and present." --Young Adult Books Central "When everyone learns about her mom''s affair with a substitute teacher half her age, Saskia and her dad move from Arizona to Connecticut for a fresh start.
