Leslye Walton’s standalone novels both sit at the intersection of young adult fiction and magical realism. The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender (2014) tells a multigenerational family story centered on a girl born with wings, weaving together themes of love, heartbreak, and what it means to be different. The Price Guide to the Occult (2018) follows a family of witches on an island, dealing with the consequences of a generations-old spell.

Both books feature atmospheric prose and female protagonists grappling with family legacies that include supernatural elements. They are independent stories that share a sensibility rather than a plot.
