    About this ebook

    Claudia's black braid swings like a pendulum. Melanie has put streaks of kool-aid-pink in her blonde hair. Daphne's curly mop of black hair is kept from her face by a headband covered in pink sparkles.
    Just three girls walking side by side, intent on each other, and the game they are about to play: Catch.
    Anyone with an up-to-date phone can play. Not just thirteen-year-old girls. This is the game's strength, and its weakness.
