As the fire "spate and clawed like a flaming tomcat ... As the temperature rose, the wooden eggs started to move...Deep inside...things beginning to change... Whatever was inside wanted out and nothing was going to stop it." and so begins the life of a little wooden girl named Snowbone, who eagerness for life, exploration, and rightousness begins.

I's a different yet wonderful book!
It's based on the lives of wooden tiddlins who're made slaves by the people of the other world- i.e. humans.
Cat W. has very precisely mentioned what the efforts and difficulties of a leader.. And also what it MEANS to be one..
I loved it!
