NAIFEH, Ted

Frightening as much for its depiction of social cruelty and scapegoating as for supernatural sorcery, this is an engrossing read.

A dark, violent fantasy recommended for those who enjoy coming-of-age stories and adventure.

There are several competing ideas within the story, but the one that seems to hold pride of place is the message that to assign value or worth based on outward appearance is to miss out on the greater value of the person or thing.
