She prefers to watch them from afar in her hidden lair atop the Oak of Doom in her backyard. <br><br>But things get more interesting when Svetlana€s cruel yet beautiful science teacher, Ms. Larch, reads her thoughts. Svetlana is excited to have found another of her kind€"until her new neighbor, The Bone Lady, fills her in on Ms. Larch's true identity and her own.
