(1) 4-6 In Massachusetts, Tommy grieves for his mother; on a distant planet, Young Waeglim invests his Valorim culture into a necklace. It falls through worlds and lands in Tommy's lunchbox, bringing Tommy memories of the Valorim--and superhuman abilities. Schmidt gives us parallel stories--one Tolkienesque fantasy, the other contemporary realism--that merge, underscoring that inner change is itself the stuff of heroism.
