Okay, well, "Noonday Jackals" is a book written by a woman named Sandra Leone. Leone had this book published in 2008 by Cacolethes Publishing. It is about a ten-year-old girl named Jackal and her adventures in a gang called the Mad Dogs.

Jackal is a genetically-engineered being known as a Feral. She has an unusually good sense of smell, and is able to heal abnormally fast due to nanites that are in her blood. She also has claws, which are really just rather sharp, long fingernails. She has red hair that is just long enough to be put into a ponytail. Her birth name is Susan. She loves the color purple and pizza. She also likes pancakes and soda.

Frank is Jackal's "sponsor" in the Mad Dog gang. He is about nineteen years old, and his birth name is Franklyn. He originally has white hair that sticks up, though his natural hair color is a sandy shade of brown. He is the second-in-command of the Mad Dogs. His parents were killed in a hovercar crash when he was eight, and his contract was bought by his uncle Garrett, who goes by the screen name of Styx. Not knowing this, Frank ran away and became a 'tract jumper. He later found a girl whose screen name is Iris and brought her to the Mad Dog gang. He is also the first of the Mad Dogs to meet Jackal, and originally the only one to know that she is a geb (genetically engineered being).

Iris is one of the girls in the gang. She is in love with the gang leader, Pitch, but it is revealed that Frank had a crush on her. She has blonde hair and gray-green eyes. Her parents stopped paying for her fos-care, and her contract was sold to a pleasure house. She tried to scar her face so they wouldn't want her, but Frank found her and took her to the Mad Dogs before she could.
