Putting that aside, what we are left with here is the story of a 13 year old girl (with very very good vision apparently) who witnesses a murder on a distant hillside while staring out the school window during her 6th period study hall. When she sees the murderer waiting for her outside the school, her problems really begin. Because, you see, she doesn't have any friends, or anyone she can walk home with, or anyone she can confide in because she has this bad habit of spreading untrue rumors about people and making up wild tales that have made people unwilling to believe or help her.
Now this makes it sounds pretty bad, but the writer is much better than that. As she weaves in the girl's personal history, the story takes on more complexity and interest. Throughout the rest of a long long afternoon, the girl starts to remember her real father, whose memory she had completely buried. These past tidbits are strewn throughout the narrative as she hides from the murderer. Along the way, there are some affecting scenes and the book manages to engage the reader quite well. It is not a masterpiece of suspense, however. It is probably best targeted at high school girls, as it is more of a juvenile tale. They will perhaps identify with Sarah as she finds the truth within her. ( )
