Brad has been following Tracy- he needs her to help rescue his sister, who was kidnapped by his stepfather. Tracy is grieving and angry, looking for someone to save. Offering her services as a babysitter to the family his sister is living with, Tracy conspires with Brad to take his sister back. But nothing is as simple as it seems. It becomes clear that the girl is not Brad\u2019s sister, and that Brad\u2019s grip on reality is tenuous at best. As his paranoid fantasies escalate, it\u2019s obvious that both girls are in a seriously dangerous situation. A gripping and disturbing tale with surprising twists and turns, The Twisted Window accurately, and frighteningly, portrays the monster that can arise from a teenager\u2019s grief, anger, denial, and defiance. Grades 9-up. Contains: violence, guns, kidnapping.
