Title: Ultraviolet Author: R.J. Anderson Publisher: Orchard Publication Date: June 2, 2011 Synopsis: Once upon a time there was a girl who was special. This is not her story. Unless you count the part where I killed her. Sixteen-year-old Alison has been sectioned in a mental institute for teens, having murdered the most perfect and popular girl at school. But the case is a mystery: no body has been found, and Alison's condition is proving difficult to diagnose. Alison herself can't explain what happened: one minute she was fighting with Tori -- the next she disintegrated. Into nothing. But that's impossible. Right? Verdict: Ultraviolet absolutely captivated me! I loved every word of every sentence on every page! R.J. Anderson has told us the wonderful story of Alison Jeffries, a very unique sixteen-year-old girl who has a very special ability.
