Sindy Felin's National Book Award finalist is in paperback for the first time. Karina has plenty to worry about on the last day of seventh grade: finding three Ds and a C on her report card again, getting laughed at by everyone again, being sent to the principal-again. But she's too busy dodging the fists of her stepfather and looking out for her sisters to deal with school. This is the story of a young girl coming of age amidst the violent waters that run just beneath the surface of suburbia-a story that has the courage to ask: How far will you go to protect the ones you love? Editorial Reviews Review Karina is a funny, whip-smart girl caught in the middle of a nightmare. Only when I laughed out loud did I remember to breathe. -- Valerie Hobbs, author of Defiance M. Sindy Felin is a writer whose words flow like mercury -- volatile and dangerous. She is a wonderful, mesmerizing new talent. -- Sharon M.
