(2) YA Percy's self-imposed role of high school anthropologist keeps him emotionally distant from other "hominids"--including his only friend, Elissa--and connected to his mourned anthropologist father. Cracks in Percy's façade appear early on, and we soon begin to wonder if Percy is a reliable narrator. Slade sets up and keeps up Percy's "anthropological vernacular" brilliantly; he is just as effective at gradually letting reality shine through.
