Fifteen year-old Parker Baer is bored with his perfect life. But the day he finds new girl Tara sleeping in his bed, his life is turn upside down. New in town, she's a beautiful girl with blond dread locks, lives in a house filled with statues and never takes off her sun glasses. She and Parker becomes friends, but then strange things begin to happen to his classmates. Can Parker uncover the truth before it's too late?
There are lots of twists and turns in the story that keep the reader interested until the very surprising ending. The author also does a great job of blending the fairy tale Goldilocks and the Three Bears with Medusa of Greek mythology.
