We were only three angry girls, simmering uselessly in our ocean-side California town, until one day a mysterious, beautiful classmate named Ambrosia taught us what else we could be: Powerful. We hardly knew each other, but each of us nurtured a burning anger: at the jerks in our class, at our disappointing parents, at the whole flawed, unjust world. Alix, the hot-tempered surfer chick Stephanie, the tree-hugging activist and me, Meg, the quiet foster kid, the one who never quite fit in.
