Knife by RJ Anderson


Knife is a fairy who is a hunter in her community and she has never had contact with a human being. She does have to hunt in the human world and she collides literally with Paul, a human boy in a wheelchair and breaks her wing. Knife is mystified by the strange behaviour of this human who she sees as lazy because he never leaves his “throne” and has everything done for him by other humans. The story tells of the close relationship that develops and is both funny and sad in places.
