It seems like a new reality show pops up every time you turn on the television. And every day, someone sells their terrible tragedy to the news media for their fifteen minutes of fame. This is the story of the Fountain family, who has been torn apart by the untimely death of their mother and father. The two girls, Madison and Smithy, unable to handle their awful situation, have escaped it. Madison has moved in with her godparents and Smithy attends a boarding school far away from her remaining two brothers. They have little to no contact with Jack and Tris. It seems that Tris is responsible not only for the death of his mother, but his father's as well. The boys legal guardian is their Aunt Cheryl, who is eager to sell the family story to tabloid television, never mind the fact that it will surely ruin baby Tris' life. Jack can't even fathom the idea of Tris being forever known as a killer and will do anything he can to save his family. Madison, Smithy, and Jack find a common enemy in their Aunt Cheryl, the only witness to their father's "accidental" death and they band together to save their family from her and the prying eyes of the television cameras.
I really enjoyed this fast-paced read. Aunt Cheryl is pure evil, and I was definitely rooting for Jack, the best big brother in the world.
