In this second book of the Land of Twilight Trilogy, seventh-grade Lorna struggles with the nuances of a friend, like how to be one, how to choose one, and how to keep one. She rejects her dad, deceives her mom, and turns her back on the ethereal Land of Twilight. She even turns on her best friend, Sam, in favor of gaining the attention of the new girl in the neighborhood. Lorna sheds her social norms, she steals and hides as she pretends to enjoy her second year in challenging Crestwood, Arizona. It has to be Sam's turn to do what true friends do. "Many people will walk In and out of your life. But only true friends will leave footprints on your heart."- Eleanor Roosevelt.
