A British au pair contends that thirteen-year-old Branwell dropped and shook his infant half-sister, a charge he cannot deny as he was rendered mute by the traumatic event. Narrated by Bran's best friend, Connor, this edgy, thought-provoking novel explores the mysterious web of complex emotions that surrounds the case and is written with Konigsburg's trademark wit and perspicuity.
