She swore she'd look after her sister, Troo. Keep her safe. But like her Granny always said-actions speak louder than words. Now, during the summer of 1959, the girls' mother is hospitalized, their stepfather has abandoned them for a six pack, and their big sister, Nell, is too busy making out with her boyfriend to notice that Sally and Troo are on the Loose. And so is a murderer and molester. <br/><br/> Highly imaginative Sally is pretty sure of two things. Who the killer is. And that she's next on his list. Now she has no choice but to protect herself and Troo as best she can, relying on her own courage and the kindness of her neighbors. 898787 1 5 2007 Whistling In the Dark total:1326|5:290|4:565|3:370|2:78|1:23| 1326 4999 1975 389 2 3 false false Tue Aug 19 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Aug 27 12:34:51 -0700 2008 Wed Aug 27 12:57:31 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 2 false false Sat Jan 31 12:46:05 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 05 16:05:23 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 31 12:46:05 -0800 2009 more...]]> 1 1 false false Thu Jan 29 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 27 14:19:39 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 29 12:57:22 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Oct 05 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 12 18:03:18 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 12 18:25:10 -0700 2009
