School Library JournalGr 8 Up—Wolfson's modern supernatural Greek tragedy is a cautionary tale of bullying and retribution, featuring three righteously angry 10th-grade girls. Meg, a neglected and abused foster kid, is clinging to optimism; Alix is perpetually peeved but has a soft spot for her developmentally disabled big brother; and Stephanie is an environmental activist with a real-estate-mogul mom. After each girl comes undone by her rage, cool, popular classmate Ambrosia explains to them that they are "Furies" and then manipulates them into casting aside forgiveness and empathy to embrace a vindictive twisted justice. Ambrosia is motivated by her own quest for revenge against a line of ill-fated princes, which might include Meg's crush, Brendon.
