YA
Like her mother Krista, fourteen-year-old Franky tries to laugh about her dad's controlling personality, but the joke has just about run its course. When Krista half-moves out of the house, Franky's dad, a famous sportcaster, insists that she and her sister share his sense of betrayal. Or else. The plot seems like a TV movie, but Franky and Krista's characters are nuanced. For Lois Duncan fans ready for something slightly more complex.
