Description

Jill and her best friend Phoebe are spies. They ride around Oakwood on their bikes, keeping track of the teenage boys, The Witch in the old wooden house, and new headstones in the graveyard. They also share a secret. Jill's mother hits her fairly regularly, hard enough to leave bruises. Jill has mostly stopped eating. That's why she and Phoebe are stuffing her school sandwiches down the grate in the basement. It's also why the rats are surfacing. Jill discovers her mother is terrified of rats, Jill feels the power of the rats coursing through her, giving her strength to confront her mother. As Jill becomes focused, able to instill fear, her friendship with Phoebe begins to falter. The girls are poised between innocence and experience, childhood and adolescence. There is a growing tension between them. Jill is working part-time as a mother's helper for neighbour Laurel Murray. But Laurel herself is trembling on the edge of something, searching for answers just out of reach. Laurel suddenly packs up the car, gathers her three small children and announces to her husband that she's driving west. Laurel's journey is juxtaposed with daily life back in Oakwood, where four dogs have turned up dead. Poisoned. The media descend on Oakwood, and Jill and Phoebe turn their attention to tracking the reporters. When the old Warbanskis are victims of a home invasion, it's the last straw for some long-time residents of Glendale Avenue. Journalists return to probe possible gang connections. The Warbanskis move to a new gated community just outside the city, patrolled and watched by videocams. Jill and Phoebe, trying to absorb this edgy world around them, grow farther apart. Phoebe is reaching for the heavens; she wants to become an astronaut. She believes in stars. Jill is digging down deeper, where the rats live, under the surface of things. Oakwood is a fictitious Winnipeg neighbourhood which is, like many Canadian cities, at the dawn of the millennium: leafy, hard-working on the outside, with a streak of violence running down the centre, just out of sight. It is this invisible current that the twelve-year-old girls know better than the adults. Satellites zoom overhead, reporters crawl the streets with laptops, home video cameras are everywhere. But who killed the dogs? Why?
