Synopsis: Willie Dixon, Muddy Waters, and Iron Maiden all sang about the seventh son of the seventh son. And about Nina, an only child born on the sixth day of the sixth month? Not so much. Girls arent heroic figures, the stuff of songs and legends. Even if they posses many talents. A dad that died young. A mom that runs away. A keen eye for conspiracies. See that flock of birds over there? Looks pretty normal, right? But Nina sees right through their mangy feathers and divines their plot to end the world in a nuclear ball of white noise. What to do? Save the world armed only with a box of cereal? Perhaps. Criticasnotes that the book encourages children to speak up, even when adults are not noticing what is happening around them or the harm they are causing. Karen Chacekwas born in Mexico City, Mexico, on a Saturday in July. She grew up with comic books, soap operas, science fiction, and fantasy books.
