 BCCB-September's Big Picture
Tulip's family life is grim, so she spends a great deal of time with Natalie; despite-or perhaps because-of Tulip's tende ncy towards lying, manipulation, and incipient criminal behavior (which result in Natalie's parents' sporadic attempts to disengage their daughter from the friendship), Natalie is obsessed with her.
Finally Tulip's behavior is too much even for Natalie, and she undertakes the difficult task of breaking from Tulip, discovering that dangerous reprisal waits just around the corner.
Tulip is magnetic and explosive, a stick of dynamite playing w ith matches, whose compulsive appeal is understandable (she's endlessly creative both in games and conversation-the "Tulip touch" is Natalie's father's term for the extra fillip to her lies that makes them seem credible).

 introduction
Tulip Temple is a one of a kind sanctuary for meditation and clothed-on bodywork.
The ideas for the Tulip Temple crystallized in 1995 when Eva envisioned the symbolic gesture of giving tulips to everyone she met as a delicate heart to heart gift.
In an environment of comfort and contemplative music, the Helpers offer their focused attention, listening, and-with your permission-gentle and safe touch, all of which are intended to support a quieting of the mind and opening of the heart.

The story is narrated by Natalie, as she looks back on the painful memories of her friendship with a troubled girl named Tulip--not just any friendship, but an obsessive love-hate relationship that inevitably led to corruption and betrayal.
Natalie worries about some of Tulip's games, but she's addicted to the excitement of her presence, only half alive when Tulip isn't around.
Telling the story with a mixture of anger and guilt and never denying her own complicity in Tulip's betrayal, Natalie forces us to think about how people can stand by watching while a child turns into a sociopath.

The other four — all fl comedies about families — have been variously seen by American publishers as "too cruel" and "far too near the bone" for American readers.) Reviews of my books for older children quite justifiably tend to feature words like ruthless, uncomfortable, knife-edged, and mordant.
The Tulip Touch and Step by Wicked Step are emotionally demanding.
Although it's a comedy, so is The Book of the Banshee — not least for adult readers: those of us who've had teenagers will never forget that they can be no joke.
