A black swan in the context of this novel is something unexpected that changes everything. The black swans in this instance are three teenaged girls: Missy, Claire, and Genvieve. The novel begins with Missy, who was, in my opinion, totally unlikeable. She is something of a spoiled brat. It is her self-centeredness, however, that allows for the events of the novel to take place. Before long, Cooney's trademark suspense kicks in and the reader is drawn to continue until the end of the book.
Despite a far-fetched premise, this book will appeal to teenaged girls.
