About this title

From School Library Journal:

Grade 7-10-- Two teenagers' lives change when one is accused of murdering three infants, including her own brother. Ferguson sustains suspense throughout her first novel, as the girls try to prove Janaan's innocence in the face of mounting circumstantial evidence. The unusual conclusion, involving voodoo, greed, and baby selling, is chilling yet believable. Subordinate to the mystery are well-developed sub-plots involving difficulties in Janaan and Lauren's friendship, and Janaan's reactions to the restrictions placed on her by her old-world Arab father. While some readers may question police suspicion of Janaan, particularly when she barely held one of the infants, they will soon be caught up in the terrifying crisis that surrounds her. --David Gale, "School Library Journal"
