    When Noga’s sister is diagnosed with a serious illness, the whole household is turned on its head, with doctor’s tests, appointments, fears, doubts and bad moods. Noga has to learnto cope with a sister who was hit by the “evil creature”, as she calls the illness.
    At the same time, Noga, together with her friends, deals with the trials of youth – a disappointing first love, a class queen who is not very nice, and a first kiss.
