Porter, Sarah Tentacle & Wing, 263 pages. Houghton Mifflin, 2017. $17.
Language: G; Mature Content: G; Violence: PG.
Ada’s father taught her from when she was little to never
talk to anyone about how she sees the world – because she doesn’t see it the
way everyone else does. Because her
difference is hidden, unlike other kids with wings, or tentacles, or other
oddities, she has remained hidden – until now.
A DNA test has revealed her difference and now she has been dragged away
with to live with the other chimeras, or kimes.
But they don’t want her either.
While some are welcoming, the heads of the secluded group are sure that
she’s a spy. And in order to keep their
secrets, they are willing to get her out of their way permanently. But Ada’s curious nature leads her to more
important discoveries – ones that can effect kimes and humans alike.
Ada’s world is even darker than I expected, what with the kimes
deciding to hate her on sight and the danger you would expect from the hatred
of the normals. But the world is rich in
variety and description and I definitely wanted to know what was going to
happen. And I want to know what is going
to happen in the (I hope) next book, too.
