About this product

Product Information

"Beats The Silence of the Lambs for suspense--it's the kind of book that had me literally gasping aloud as it rattled to its incredible conclusion." --Cory Doctorow, New York Times bestselling author of Homeland What if the most terrifying person you know is your ten-year-old sister? Seventeen-year-old Aussie Che Taylor loves his younger sister, Rosa. But he's also certain that she's a psychopath--clinically, threateningly, dangerously. Recently Rosa has been making trouble, hurting things. Che is the only one who knows; he's the only one his sister trusts. Rosa is smart, talented, pretty, and very good at hiding what she is and the manipulation she's capable of. Their parents, whose business takes the family from place to place, brush off the warning signs as Rosa's "acting out." Now that they have moved again--from Bangkok to New York City--their new hometown provides far too many opportunities for Rosa to play her increasingly complex and disturbing games. Che's always been Rosa's rock, protecting her from the world. Now, the world might need protection from her.

ReviewsPraise for My Sister Rosa "An utterly compelling and wonderfully creepy exploration of the many faces of psychopathy. Rosa will stay with you long after you turn the last page." --Jay Kristoff, New York Times bestselling author of Illuminae "A toe-curling psychological thriller." -- The Sydney Morning Herald "The sense of impending doom overshadowed all. It will take some time to truly absorb My Sister Rosa and more time to recover... an excellent psychological thriller featuring diverse characters; it's a page-turner that happens to fall into the YA category." --DarkMatterZine.com "The evil in the room across the hall, the evil in the flowery party dress, the evil who just wants a bedtime story--Rosa is more frightening and more adorable than any villain you have yet met. Larbalestier is at her tricky, terrifying best in this novel." --E. Lockhart, New York Times bestselling author of We Were Liars "Larbalestier masterfully crafts a unique tale about a boy and his kid sister who bring old problems to a new city. It's darkly funny, disconcerting, and absolutely brilliant!" --Jason Reynolds, author of The Boy in the Black Suit and All American Boys Praise for Razorhurst "A day full of bloody confrontations, secret alliances and unexpected romance . . . fascinating setting, colorful names, and sharp, peppery dialogue." --The New York Times Book Review "Vivid . . . Lavishly imagined . . . Larbalestier's elaborate world is sure to linger." --Los Angeles Times "Vivid and bloody and bold and fast--I feel like Razorhurst is in my bones now." --Elizabeth Gilbert "Sure, it is shiny and chilly and bloody and sharp, like the razor of the title, but Larbalestier's book is also magical and glamorous." --E. Lockhart, New York Times bestselling author of We Were Liars "Larbalestier packs plenty of danger into the single day this novel covers . . . [The] story's interwoven intrigue and empathy make it feel timeless." -- Publishers Weekly , Starred Review "Larbalestier pulls no punches with the gruesome, gory details about the violence of poverty, and the result is a dark, unforgettable and blood-soaked tale of outlaws and masterminds." -- Kirkus Reviews , Starred Review, Praise for My Sister Rosa "An utterly compelling and wonderfully creepy exploration of the many faces of psychopathy.
