Medium Paperback
Some Wear
This magnificent Sci-Fi story masterfully creates a whole futuristic universe while maintaining focus on Nuris rich inner world. An Oliver Twist-style plot in a Star Wars setting with all the thrill (but not the violence) of The Hunger Games, it is beautifully rendered: the writing is sophisticated and engaging, the exotic cast of characters are a delight, and the plot works perfectly, balancing wild imagination with relatable, age-appropriate themes (like bullying by the mean girls ). In the facility, the adult characters guide and care for the young people with remarkad there is a kind of karmic retribution for the mean kids, which is very reassuring to young teen readers. Beyond the reaches of the facility, life is more combative, but, refreshingly, there is no gratuitous violence. The story also illustrates and explores what it means to live in a racially integrated society although Terra appears to be classist, certainly in the facility we see different species interacting with respect, awareness of and appreciation of each others differences in a way that is quite inspiring.
