Girrrl

Surrounded by fears. And all of them real.

There isn't much that doesn't frighten ten-year-old Kelly Carter—the dark, the water, monsters, you name it—but she's about to enter the summer of all fears. When Kelly and her family arrive at Kildare Lake, she knows it's not just for vacation. They've come to say goodbye to her little brother, Cody, who is dying.

Kelly tries to be brave for Cody, but everything around her is plagued by darkness, and all of it is scary. Dangerous things lurk beneath calm water, and others skulk beneath her bed. Shadows swirl through the lake, and more dart in the upper corners of her room. Her parents tell her there's nothing to be afraid of, but she doesn't believe them. Her fears are real. Somehow, scared or not, she must find the courage to keep her brother safe.
