Description, by Cyd Athens [Tangent]: "Kaëlle is a not-particularly-popular Haitian girl. When one of her school mates, Bobby, goes missing, she reigns in her fear enough to confront the half dark with Tonton Macoute, the machete her father gave her. Despite the half dark’s many tentacles and sharp teeth, the girl is determined to beat it back and rescue Bobby, whom the half dark has taken."
