Lutie and her nerdy younger brother, Fate, take off for Las Vegas when their care taker dies unexpectedly. In Vegas, Lutie makes all kinds of bad decisions. There are several disturbing things described associated with the kids trying to survive in Las Vegas. I really disliked Lutie and didn't even want to finish the book. It was pretty depressing. I stuck it out though and the second half of the book got a little better but not enough to make me want to read anything else by this author.
