Chloe's older sister, Ruby, is the girl everyone looks to and longs for, who can't be captured or caged. When a night with Ruby's friends goes horribly wrong and Chloe discovers the dead body of her classmate London Hayes left floating in the reservoir, Chloe is sent away from town and away from Ruby.

But Ruby will do anything to get her sister back, and when Chloe returns to town two years later, deadly surprises await. As Chloe flirts with the truth that Ruby has hidden deeply away, the fragile line between life and death is redrawn by the complex bonds of sisterhood.

Nova Ren Suma is a New York native who graduated with an MFA in fiction from Columbia University and BA in writing and photography from Antioch College. Imaginary Girls is her YA debut, and she's hard at work on her next book, slated for release in 2012. You can keep with her at her blog, distraction no. 99.

Why I'm Stoked: Uhhhhh let me count the ways: 1) Cover lust, 2) Amazing premise, 3) Promise of an eerie and haunting plot, 4) Dark and twisty...yeah, I'd say that pretty much covers it in just a few words! I totally can't wait to have this in my hands! Happy book birthday to Nova Ren Suma and Imaginary Girls!
