English Summary/英文概要: When sixteen-year-old Abigail’s mother dies in Scotland—leaving a faded photo, a weirdly cryptic letter, and a one-way ticket to America—she feels nothing. Why should she? Her mother abandoned her as a baby to grow up on an anti-nuclear commune and then in ugly foster homes. But the letter is a surprise in more ways than one: Her father is living in California. What’s more, she has an eighteen-year-old sister, Becky. And the two are expecting Abigail to move in with them.While struggling to overcome her natural suspicions of a note from beyond the grave (not to mention anything positive) Abigail tries to fit in with her strange, new American family: a distant father with a closed past, a too-perfect stepmother, and most puzzling of all, her long-lost sister. Becky sweeps Abigail into a shadowy underground movement involving clandestine street art, jailbreaks, and a bizarre double life. Soon, Abigail uncovers something unimaginable: a plot with vast implications, one that is aimed not only at controlling her sister, but the behavior of rebellious teens across the globe.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 当16岁的阿比盖尔的母亲死在苏格兰,留下一张褪色的照片,一个古怪神秘的信件和到美国的单程票,她没什么感觉。为什么她要有所感觉呢?当她还是婴儿时,她的母亲就把她抛弃,丢在了反核公社,后来被寄养在一个令人厌恶的家庭。不过,这封信的惊喜不止一个:她的父亲住在加利福尼亚州。更重要的是,她有一个18岁的姐姐,贝基。而且,他们期待阿比盖尔搬去和他们同住。
在努力克服对来自坟墓的信件的怀疑的同时(更不用提一些积极的事了),阿比盖尔试图让自己的怪异适应新的美国家庭:有着封闭过去的遥远的父亲,一个过于完美的继母,以及最令人费解的,她失散多年的姐姐。贝基带着阿比盖尔席卷阴暗的地下运动,涉及秘密的街头艺术,越狱,和一个奇怪的双重生活。不久,阿比盖尔揭示了一些难以想象的事情:有着巨大影响力的阴谋,它不仅控制着姐姐,还有全球范围内叛逆青少年的行为。(LNL)
