With Roz and Eva everything becomes a contest—who can snag the best role in the school play, have the cutest boyfriend, pull off the craziest prank. Still, they’re as close as sisters can be. Until Eva deletes Roz from her life like so much junk e-mail for no reason that Roz understands. Now Eva hangs out with the annoyingly petite cheerleaders, and Roz fantasizes about slipping bovine growth hormone into their Gatorade. Roz has a suspicion about Eva.

Swain Wolfe spent his childhood in magical places, exploring the mesas and tunnels of his father’s tuberculosis sanatorium near the Garden of the Gods and later his step-father’s six-thousand-acre ranch on a horse named Joe. Nature was his mirror, allowing him to escape his parents’ failing marriage, his father’s despair, and his mother’s brutal second m
