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 he€s also certain that she€s a psychopath€"clinically, threateningly, dangerously. Recently Rosa has been making trouble, hurting things. Che is the only one who knows; he€s the only one his sister trusts. Rosa is smart, talented, pretty, and very good at hiding what she is and the manipulation she€s capable of.
Their parents, whose business takes the family from place to place, brush off the warning signs as Rosa€s €œacting out.€ Now that they have moved again€"from Bangkok to New York City€"their new hometown provides far too many opportunities for Rosa to play her increasingly complex and disturbing games. Che€s always been Rosa€s rock, protecting her from the world. Now, the world might need protection from her.
