"Seventeen-year-old Signal Deere has raised eyebrows for years as an unhappy Goth misfit from the trailer park. When she's convicted of her best friend Rose's brutal murder, she's designated a Class A--the most dangerous and manipulative criminal profile. To avoid prison, Signal signs on for a secret program for 18-and-under Class As and is whisked off to an abandoned sleep-away camp, where she and seven bunkmates will train as assassins. Yet even in the Teen Killers Club, Signal doesn't fit in. She's squeamish around blood. She's kind and empathetic. And her optimistic attitude is threatening to turn a group of ragtag maniacs into a team of close-knit friends. Maybe that's because Signal's not really a killer. She was framed for Rose's murder and only joined the program to escape, track down Rose's real killer, and clear her name"--Provided by publisher.

Konatsu's introverted tendencies are hard for her to overcome, but maybe she's found something worth coming out of her shell for? Even though life is changing for Koyuki and Konatsu, the Aquarium Club and the little salamander that brought them together will remain a special, immutable link between them in the days ahead. As autumn arrives and Koyuki's graduation looms, Konatsu summons all her courage to confront one lingering doubt--must their friendship end just because their stories are diverging?"--Back cover.

Then one day Konatsu sees Koyuki and her classmate Kaede spending time together as if they're the best of friends, and she can't contain her agitation.
