“I suppose a lot of teenage girls feel invisible sometimes, like they just disappear. Well, that's me—Cammie the Chameleon. But I'm luckier than most because, at my school, that's considered cool.

I go to a school for spies.”
Ally Carter, I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You

Karl Braungart
“Sure as hell doesn’t seem that Williams’ study and findings were general. This man talked from fact. I bet this is the scientist and study they want.”
Karl Braungart, Fatal Identity
