(4) YA Stopmouth, stuttering younger brother of his tribe's golden boy, battles enemies and rises to chiefdom; the mysterious appearance of a strange, "civilized" woman is a catalyst. Set in a brutal world--part alien battleground, part Aztec Empire--this is a gruesome (cannibalism, human sacrifice, and other taboo subjects abound) but enthralling hero's journey, compelling despite its gratuitous violence.
