(2) YA Rilka is allergic to chuffies, creatures that absorb negative feelings. Her discontent is perhaps why she makes the mad pledge to catch a beguiler, a beautiful but treacherous creature that haunts the mountains at night, driving despair into the soul of anyone foolish enough to venture out. This fast-paced fantasy delves both realistically and metaphorically into the act of setting oneself a challenge and following it through to success.
