  <default_description>When Bee woke up, there was a girl standing in her room. &quot;You are me,&quot; the girl said. Then she was gone. I am a thirteen-year-old double Gemini. I get bad grades, write poetry with my left hand, dance in my room, surf the net. I Google images of the tattoos my mom won't let me get. . . . But my world belongs to someone else. Someone who lives below the concrete of Los Angeles, someone with wild eyes and twigs in her hair. And I think she wants her life back.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[  For much of its brief length, &quot;The Waters and the Wild&quot; feels like one of Block's most tonally consistent books, a stripped-down tale with charged mythic overtones and so little of Block's usually defiant Shangri-L.A. kitsch that the very few pop culture references feel like missteps.
