false 2134098 2 Fifteen year old Maggie Keller was once a popular girl, the star of school plays. When a car accident kills her mother and leaves Maggie with a limp, she turns into Freak Frankenstein Girl, who just wants to be left alone. When the new girl at school, Dahlia Wainwright, asks Maggie to be in her band, Maggie knows right away she's found a kindred spirit. Everyone thinks Dahlia’s a witch and a freak, but Maggie is captivated. Dahlia's unconventional family soon becomes Maggie's new world - a world where everyone has an alternate personality, and dolls have the power to control fate. What begins as a peculiar friendship soon develops into something much stronger...and perhaps more dangerous for both girls. 2139580 15 5 2008 My Tiki Girl total:44|5:11|4:12|3:14|2:5|1:2| 44 157 143 20 5 1 false false Mon Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Feb 08 16:27:26 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 08 16:27:26 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Jan 22 13:47:08 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 22 14:00:39 -0800 2009
