(2) YA In this worthy companion to Seraphina and Shadow Scale, Seraphina's human half-sister Tess, disguised as a boy, embarks on a picaresque journey with a "quigutl" (half-dragon) friend. Tess refashions herself, finally free from the misogynistic teachings of her upbringing and the burden of her mistakes. There's much richness in this fantastical tale's nuanced, accessible expression of adolescent naiveté and sorrow, and Hartman offers sturdy, compassionate wisdom along with intelligent invention.
