(2) YA Tall, stooped, short-faced, and bug-eyed, with a strange, musky odor, David has been tormented all his life. He's fostered with a kind farming couple and ultimately must decide whether to have "corrective" surgery. The depiction of David is inventive, and readers will be drawn into his story and secrets, likely recognizing his batlike traits before he spreads his wings.
