Outer space is strange: black holes threaten to swallow up entire solar systems, galaxies collide into each other, and creatures from the worlds beyond the stars have no end to their personal wars. So when Rafe Braga, a thirteen-year-old boy with a penchant for tidiness, wants zero involvement with these cosmic forces, it's easy to see where he's coming from. And then there's Rafe's twin sister, Pressa... As if demise by an otherworldly monster isn't enough stress for a boy, there's always the chance that Pressa will find new and exciting ways to wander off a mountainside or blow up somebody important. After dealing a solid dose of honesty to his careless friends, Rafe finds himself socially isolated. But isolation breeds self-sufficiency, and now that an unstoppable force threatens Pressa's life, Rafe faces a devastating ultimatum. How far is Rafe willing to go to save his sister? What unearthly dangers will he endure? More importantly, is he willing to make a deal with a devil?
