(4) 4-6 When eleven-year-old Olivia moves to Birmingham, Alabama, she is incredibly lonesome without any friends, a dislocation that rings particularly true. She spots a message on her favorite café's bathroom wall--"We are Plantagenet. We are chosen"--and begins investigating its source, wondering just what the references mean. Despite plenty of initial tension, the plot fails to sustain the book's concept.
