Kiki Strike

Kiki Strike is written by Kirsten Miller and is about independence, trust, friendship and adventure. It was published May 30, 2006 and is classified as Fantasy Fiction. The main character in this book is Ananka Fishbein who tells the story in first person.
This book is about a 14 year old girl, Ananka, who meets the strange Kiki Strike. Together they form a group, The Irregulars, consisting of 6 girls, each with a significant talent. They try to find the secret of the underground world under Manhattan, unlocking passage ways, finding treasure and discovering mysteries. No one but themselves knows about the underground world.
The crucial scene I have chosen is in Chapter 8 when The Irregulars (Ananka’s group to discover the underground world of Manhattan) produce an explosion to break a lock and open another entry into the Shadow City (underground world under Manhattan).
When the explosion occurred this led to controversy and lack of trust between each of The Irregulars as Kiki Strike had pressured Dee Dee (an incredible talented chemist) to create the explosion even though they were unsure whether it was safe or not and if they were under any water pipes. (“If you don’t trust me why are you here?” Kiki shouted. With her brows furrowed, nostrils flared, and white locks sticking out in every direction, she looked wild and dangerous. Dee Dee reluctantly pulled out two small vials. “Sorry Ananka, I’m sure we’ll be fine”) this quote is showing how hard it was for Dee Dee to make her own decisions and how Kiki forced her in a sneaky way create the explosion. Dee Dee flew back, hit her head and became unconscious and the explosion caused a flood throughout Manhattan. Ananka carried Dee Dee out of the Shadow City with the rest of The Irregulars, when they got out they looked behind them and noticed that Kiki Strike (the leader of The Irregulars) was not with them, she abandoned them, and she had vanished.
Kiki Strike took their treasure and gold they
