If you trust her youll never make it home

Avery is an exceptional child. Everything he does is precise, from the way he washes his face in the morning, to the way he completes his homework without complaint, without fuss, without prompt.

Zib is also an exceptional child, because all children are, in their own way. But where everything Avery does and is can be measured, nothing Zib does can possibly be predicted, except for the fact that she can always be relied upon to be unpredictable.

They live on the same street.
