It is in Arteria, a country he has mapped out on his computer, that Chris has the chance to confront his sister, Lulu, and end their rivalry before it has deadly consequences.<br><br>A villainous older sister, a quantum physics genie with a weird sense of humor, and a sharp young hero--this Bermuda triangle of characters is at the center of a funny, frightening novel in the spirit of William Sleator's masterwork, <i>Interstellar Pig</i>.
