12-year-old Cass has always been realistic. Truth is truth. Lies are lies. There is no in-between -- it's true or it's false and that's that.
She is safe in the Gel Sac. True.
The outside is dangerous. True.
Everyone has the best intentions. True.
But on the threshold of thirteen, Cass realizes that the gel sac is collapsing like a house of cards. The gel, the substance that holds all life, is diminished every day. No one ever mentions it, and Cass begins to wonder. If she isn't safe in the Gel Sac -- what other truths are lies? And where else could she ever go to?
