When twelve-year-old Paris's peripatetic parents say they're finally settling down, she decides to make friends at her new school. Unfortunately, this means being pushed around by a bully who insists Paris take part in a dare involving a dead girl. Liu's story, refreshingly, features a Chinese American narrator whose ethnicity is not at the story's center.
