“A tense, thrilling rumination on the psychology of evil.
Will keep readers riveted from start to finish.” “A chilling contemplation on human morality, incorporating sharp commentary on privilege, faith, gender identity, and race. The Bulletin for the Center for Children’s Books, (starred review) even those with no prior experience of craftiness will find Che’s helplessness in the face of Rosa’s casual cruelty absolutely chilling.” “The plot is devilishly clever, with clues that point to, without giving away, the surprise twists. “Larbalestier reminds readers of her masterful gift for slippery, unreliable characters … thriller fans will devour this suspenseful, chilling meditation on the roles of nature and nurture in creating dangerous criminals.”
Publishers Weekly, ( Publishers Weekly Best Books 2016) “Almost unremittingly tense, Larbalestier’s chilling study of morality, psychopathy, and the nature of evil is narrated by Australian teenager Che Taylor, whose move to New York City with his family only heightens his fears about what his 10-year-old sister, Rosa-who seems entirely devoid of empathy-is capable of.” Now, the world might need protection from her. Che’s always been Rosa’s rock, protecting her from the world. Now Che and his family have moved to New York City, a new hometown, which provides too many opportunities for Rosa to play her increasingly disturbing games. Seventeen-year-old Australian, Che Taylor, loves his psychopathic younger sister, Rosa, despite all the trouble she makes for him. What if the most terrifying person you’d ever met was your ten-year old sister?
