Angelina has always noticed the things other people miss-the slight shift in a room, the meaning hidden inside a kindness, the patterns adults would rather ignore. As she moves toward her teenage years, that instinct becomes more than just a strange gift. As Angelina begins to understand the forces closing in around her, she must decide whether recognizing the pattern is enough-or whether she is ready to break it. Blending coming-of-age fiction with a difficult but vital exploration of grooming, friendship, courage, and resistance, When Turning 13 Triggers Evil is a story about the moment silence starts to lose its power-and a young girl discovers that awareness can become a form of strength.
