(The Carnegie Medal Website )Product Description
Clay is a normal teenager who likes watching films with her Dad and doing her paper round. But when a new neighbour befriends her Mum, she starts to feel uneasy. Since when did their lives revolve around his? And why is everything suddenly so complicated?Clay knows there is something odd about the new family, yet she can't help being drawn to them like everyone else...This book is by turns hilariously funny and very creepy. It talks about the power one individual can yield. And Clay meanwhile is growing up. It is stunningly original and never simplistic. It simply deserves to be read. (20051101)

I think that this book is really intresting because the story line has lots of twists and turns, hence the name. Parts of the story were quite confusing because it jumped from what was really happening to what the girl was thinking about happening. i also think the ending could have been better it ends without being finished properly.
