From the reviews I read here, I almost didn't "buy" this book, even though it's offered free.But from the first, I was engaged and enthralled. I suspect some people just didn't "get it". If you're expecting stark realism, skip this book. Almost nothing in this book is "believable". It's fantasy with a point. It's totally over the top. But if you're willing to invest the time, you won't be disappointed.It deals, ultimately, with some very weighty subjects, including human trafficking, abuse, stolen organs, hateful parents, racism, coming out, nudism and the hatred that spews from the religious right.There's also a lot of humor in the book. The names alone, should have given it away right off the bat - the protagonist's name is Sebastian Sanspere. The last name, in French, means "without father", one of the main themes of the book. Another is named "Fee (for Pheobe) Lyne" for a definitely catlike "feline" heroine. The wise principal is Mr. Noall (Know all?).There is much to discover here, a passable mystery/thriller, and a great heartwarming hug of a book. Do download it, and do enjoy it. I know I did.
