Justina Ireland, Dread Nation Rumors are born with legs that can run a mile in less than a minute. I guess it should have been obvious to everyone right then that I wasn’t going to have a normal life. Suma (Dani Noir) uses the story's supernatural, horror movie ready elements in the best of ways beneath all the strangeness lies beauty, along with a powerful statement about the devotion between sisters. Nova Ren Suma, Imaginary Girls The day I came squealing and squalling into the world was the first time someone tried to kill me. Chloe begins to recognize that things work differently in her sister's world events bend to accommodate Ruby, and reality itself seems to take its shape from her desires. Ruby still has the run of the town, but there's London, alive and well.
Afterward, Chloe is forced to move in with her father in another state two years later, Ruby fetches Chloe back, and everything's different. At a drunken party, Chloe accepts Ruby's challenge to swim across the local reservoir and finds a drifting rowboat holding the body of London, a girl from school.
Fourteen-year-old Chloe idolizes her older sister, Ruby, a boy magnet who runs wild in their New York upstate town and is denied nothing. In her first YA novel, Suma creates a surreal and dreamy world where magical thinking is carried to a chilling extreme.
