What if the most terrifying person you know is your ten-year-old sister?
Seventeen-year-old Aussie Che Taylor loves his younger sister, Rosa. But heβs also certain that sheβs a psychopathβclinically, threateningly, dangerously. Recently Rosa has been making trouble, hurting things. Che is the only one who knows; heβs the only one his sister trusts. Rosa is smart, talented, pretty, and very good at hiding what she is and the manipulation sheβs capable of.
Their parents, whose business takes the family from place to place, brush off the warning signs as Rosaβs βacting out.β Now that they have moved againβfrom Bangkok to New York Cityβtheir new hometown provides far too many opportunities for Rosa to play her increasingly complex and disturbing games. Cheβs always been Rosaβs rock, protecting her from the world. Now, the world might need protection from her.
