Cold Tom

Branford Boase Award winner 2002.

Tom is one of the Tribe. But he is not like the others – he is clumsy and heavy, and the Tribe drive him away into the demon city. But Tom can't live with demons either – they are so hot, so foul, and he knows they are trying to enslave his mind. But there is nowhere else to run. Between the savage Tribe and the stifling demons, is there any way out for Tom? A beautiful and exciting story about a Tom, caught between his elfin home and the world of humans.
