What if the most terrifying person you'd ever met was your ten-year old sister? A spine-chilling psychological thriller from one of Australia's finest YA authors.
'I promise,' said Rosa. 'I won't kill and I won't make anyone else kill.'
I can't see the loophole. Since the guinea pig there's been nothing. Months now without Rosa killing as much as a mosquito.
As far as I know.
Che Taylor has four items on his list: 1. He wants to spar, not just train in the boxing gym. 2. He wants a girlfriend. 3. He wants to go home. 4. He wants to keep Rosa under control.
Che's little sister Rosa is smart, talented, pretty, and so good at deception that Che's convinced she must be a psychopath. She hasn't hurt anyone yet, but he's certain it's just a matter of time. And when their parents move them to New York City, Che longs to return to Sydney and his three best friends. But his first duty is to his sister Rosa, who is playing increasingly complex and disturbing games. Can he protect Rosa from the world - and the world from Rosa?
My Sister Rosa will have you on the edge of your seat from the very first page to the last.

Ever thought that your younger sibling is evil? Sporn of Satan?
I found My Sister Rosa to be very different and intriguing for a Young adult novel.
In the height of popularity of the modern psychological thriller for adults this book emerges to strike while the iron is hot and to pull younger readers into the genre. Most teen reading at the moment mainly consists of fantasy, science fiction or romance so this is a refreshing read that delves into something more real and psychological.
Rosa is the younger sister of a teenage boy who is convinced that his sister is a undiagnosed psychopath. This book is fun, creepy and twisted. I enjoyed every bit of this book and so did my
colleagues and family when it did the rounds when I was done.
After I finished My Sister Rosa, I found myself looking at my siblings just a little bit closer!! - Belinda (QBD)
