Mexico City, 1988. Long before iTunes or MP3s, you said "I love you" with a mixtape. Meche, awkward and fifteen, discovers how to cast spells using music, and with her friends Sebastian and Daniela will piece together their broken families, and even find love. . . Two decades after abandoning the metropolis, Meche returns for her estranged father' s funeral, reviving memories from her childhood she thought she buried a long time ago. What really happened back then? Is there any magic left?
"Haunting and beautifully nuanced, Signal to Noise is a magical first novel. " -- The Guardian * The Guardian * "Plenty of books use magic to talk about coming-of-age stories and the secrets that people bury. . . but few of them are as sad, or as evocative, as Silvia Moreno-Garcia' s new novel Signal to Noise. " -- io9 * io9 * "Vibrantly new. . . one of the most important fantasy debuts of the year. " -- Locus * Locus Magazine * "Numerous ' 80s musical references make this unusual story a welcome blast from the past. " -- Publisher' s Weekly * Publishers Weekly * "In many ways, Signal to Noise is a coming-of-age tale, but it' s also the tale of what comes after - and what happens when forces beyond our control, magical or otherwise, are better left that way. " -- NPR * NPR * "The book is this rich, elaborate symphony of awesome that defies simple definitions. " -- Kirkus * Kirkus Reviews * "Signal to Noise is a perfect young adult crossover novel, full of appeal, diverse characters & setting, wonderful writing-and magic. " -- School Library Journal * School Library Journal * "This charming literary fantasy will resonate for readers of all ages. " -- Barnes & Noble Sci-Fi and Fantasy Blog * The Barnes & Noble SF&F Blog * "If you like well drawn characters, cool tunes and lashings and lashings of nostalgia, then you should check this out. " -- Starburst Magazine * Starburst Magazine * "Refreshing, lively and unique, Moreno-Garcia' s debut novel is a triumph. " -- RT Book Reviews * RT Book Reviews *
