(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Chad Beckerman. Kevin and Holly, besides concluding that their archaeologist mother has died in an earthquake, are also being threatened by a stalker. They leave New Mexico for Venice, California, where they meet all manner of colorful characters. Although framed with hints of mystery, the novel primarily paints vivid character sketches of individuals living the fringe life in Venice; it fails to sustain a coherent plot.
