YA
Sixteen-year-old Maggy, an artistic loner with an alcoholic mother, falls for a street kid with a seductive charm; Cole turns out to be a sexual predator who chooses girls to "rescue," then to control and abuse. Readers will be enticed by Koja's original voice and fast-paced tale--as compelling as Cole and as passionate, and compassionate, as Maggy.
