Katya Lonewood isn't likable. She's the difficult daughter of a deadbeat dad. The locals on the untreed part of the island veer around her while the islanders on the treed lands tolerate her antics. Maybe it's her personality issue. Screw 'em. Why does she need to shrink so much for other people and leave so little for herself?With the fish disappearing and the birds falling silent, Katya knows something is wrong. Something she's not supposed to talk about, but she can't silence the knowing in her gut. She knows whatever is happening is only about to get worse. And worse, it gets when a once dormant volcano roars back to life. Will Katya be able to find out what happened to the wildlife before all of the clues are burned to ashes? While she's not about to win a personality contest, she just might win a scholarship to her dream university along the way.
