"I nudge Voodoo Baby's tiny body. Her body moves, but not in the right way. It moves in the wrongest way possible, and my eyes fill so that I can hardly see" (263).
Voodoo Baby is one of these three baby ducks dropped off at Carly and Anna's house, and they each named their own duck -- Anna's duck being Voodoo Baby. Voodoo baby is notably a representative of Anna, or Anna's sisterly relationship with Carly. After arly's nightmares are brought ot life (theoretically), Carly rushes to see the baby ducks, in an attempt to escape from the horrible feeling in her gut. She finds Voodoo Baby, drowned. Without a doubt, this represents how Anna has changed, and changed in a way completely unorthodox to Carly -- Anna has moved in the wrongest way possible. The crystal clear relationship between Carly and Anna has broken into fragments, so much that Carly can hardly see what was ever there.
