"None of us has control," says Alyssa Reed's father. Alyssa knows he's lying. Yes, her baby sister died. Stillborn. No one could control that. But her father moved their family to a new town, then moved out. Nobody made him. Her mother stays in bed and cries all day. She doesn't have to. Her grandmother Daisy G is too busy to help. That's her choice. No matter what the grown-ups say, they hold some power Alyssa doesn't have. So Alyssa decides to take control of her own life. Get new friends. Try out for cheerleader. Find some cool clothes-in her dad's girlfriend's suitcase. And pick a new name:BLISTER, a sore spot, a raw place no one can ignore.
