(2) 4-6 In this believable family story, stroke-victim Grandad gives Gavin's hand a faint squeeze each time he hears the word selkie. Gavin wears himself out trying to build on that reaction, culminating in a remarkable interior portrait of Grandad's utter confusion, as Gavin finds his consciousness fused with the old man's. Their intimate inner negotiation--possibly facilitated by a selkie--enables Grandad to make a first step toward recovery.
