Phileas's Fortune : A Story About Self-expression
by Agnés de Lestrade
Summary: A young boy lives in a strange land where people must buy and swallow the words they need in order to speak.
This book is unique and somewhat abstract. It is clearly meant to have a deep meaning. It reminds me of adult dystopias where love conquers all. This book includes a note suggesting its use in teaching values.
