Deconnick's first book, entitled "Jean-claude forest," is an English-language adaptation of a French poem by Jean-Jacques Rousseau. It's set in a forest in the middle of nowhere, and it's about a girl named Barbarella who's running away from her life on earth. She's in a greenhouse in a volcano called "crystallia" , and she's surrounded by a bunch of adonides, the flowers of the adonid people. She doesn't know what's going on, but she knows that the orhomr people are trying to kill her. She has a message for a man named "ahan" . He's a member of the Orhomr tribe, and he's on a mission to kill himself with a poison called "an adonide," which is made of red moss.
