About this title

About the Author:

Ruth Ames has written several bestselling young adult novels under another name and is the author of the Poison Apple title THIS TOTALLY BITES!. She lives in Manhattan.

From School Library Journal:

Gr 4-6–This fast-paced story will capture preteen readers who are eager to walk on the dark side. Emma-Rose is different from everyone she knows. She's always hated garlic, preferred rainy days to sunshine, and is known by some in her school as “Pale Paley.” When her great-aunt Margo comes to visit from Romania, she starts to think these quirks might have a more sinister meaning. Meanwhile, she's just trying to get through sixth grade unscathed by the popular cliques and have her crush notice her. Perfect for students who see their older siblings reading Stephenie Meyer's “Twilight” series (Little, Brown), this book will definitely find an audience.Adrienne Wilson, Edith Wheeler Memorial Library, Monroe, CT
