Bookroo's summary

Julie is drawn to Carla, the mysterious new girl in class. But Carla's stories don't add up, and her evasive answers raise red flags. As Julie digs deeper, she faces a troubling dilemma: is Carla weaving a web of lies, or is she hiding from something truly dangerous? Julie must uncover the truth before it's too late, but what she finds could change everything. Can she trust her instincts, or will her curiosity lead her into peril?

From the publisher

Julie really likes the new girl in her class, Carla Warner. Still, there’s something odd about her. The things Carla says don’t quite add up, and she seems to avoid answering certain questions. At first Julie is sure there’s a sensible explanation, but as Carla’s stories become more outlandish, Julia can’t escape a disturbing fact: either her new friend is lying–or she’s in real danger.
