(3) YA California teen Maguire, suffering from guilt and superstition after surviving a series of accidents that killed or injured others (including her father, uncle, and brother), retreats into unhealthy solitude. At her therapist's office, she meets a teen tennis star with his own struggles, and they help each other cope. Sweet, heartfelt, and ultimately uplifting, with a useful author's note on cognitive behavioral therapy.
Reviewer: Martha V. Parravano
