(3) YA In this futuristic novel, the military-backed Rulers keep citizens in a stage of subjugation. When orphaned Leora returns a captive birmba baby--a bear-ape creature reputed to be vicious--to its mother, she finds herself in danger and sets off in search of a group of rebels. The concept of fighting for freedom against oppression and the theme of the small and timid outsmarting the powerful are strongly developed.
