Description: "From the outside, 14-year-old Syd Johanssen seems like a typical teenage girl -- busy delivering newspapers, training with her high school track team, and hanging out with her friends. Under the surface, though, things aren't what they seem. Her family life leaves a lot to be desired: her workaholic mom turns up her nose at Syd's offbeat tastes, and she hasn't seen her dad in months. Even more troubling, Syd can't shake her fascination with the highly publicized kidnappings and murders of two local girls. Her friends think she's nuts to obsess over such a morbid subject, and Syd's afraid to tell them she's started having visions of the murdered girls. Syd's obsession turns to terrifying reality when she realizes she's being stalked on her paper route. Tense and fast-paced, "Girl #3" is a vivid portrayal of the dangers girls have to watch out for, and how, in the darkest of hours, a friend can be found in the most unlikely of places."--Page [] 4 of Cover.
