| Publisher Description: Later, I would think of it as crossing over. From a known territory into an unknown. From a place where people know you to a place where people only think they know you. Sometimes Franky Pierson has a hard time dealing with life. Like when her parents separate and her mother vanishes, Franky wants to believe that her mom has simply pulled a disappearing act. Yet deep within herself, a secret part of her she calls Freaky Green Eyes knows that something is terribly wrong. And only Freaky can open Franky's eyes to the truth. |
