(1) YA Ellis is both yearning for wild adventure and trying to deal with a friend's recent suicide. Mahy takes us on a twenty-four-hour roller-coaster ride in which staid Ellis has his head shorn, gets a little skull tattoo, and rescues a kidnapped baby. Not since Memory has the brilliance of Mahy's literary gift found a better home than in this resilient tale of life, both mundane and far-out, winning out over death.
