Abstract
The Malik Girls, a novel in progress, is a story where the protagonist inherits her
ancestors’ home and is thrust into a town full of dark secrets, where the woods come
alive, things move on their own, and no one can be trusted. Thea Malik discovers
what it’s like to be an outsider in a small town, full of people who are not what they
appear. Structure plays a big role in this novel, as we see her challenges in the
present as well as memories from her past, interwoven together. In the process of
her discoveries of who and what her family is, she grows as a person, becoming
stronger, braver, and more secure. Her footing in the town changes slowly as she
refuses to be bullied. This theme of being different with no acceptance from society
plays heavily throughout the novel. The Malik Girls is a suspenseful tale, with
psychological and supernatural elements, where the characters learn everything is
not what it seems on the surface.
