About the Author
Jill Rubalcaba, author of A PLACE IN THE SUN, UNCEGILA'S SEVENTH SPOT, and ST. VITUS' DANCE, lives in Haddam, Connecticut.
From School Library Journal
Grade 3-6?Twin brothers, one of whom is blind, set out to slay an evil monster, Uncegila, scourge of the Plains. They are aided by a shaman, Ugly-Old-Woman, whose eyes suggest inner beauty. She asks only that one of them hold her in a warm embrace. Blind Twin does so, and she becomes young and beautiful, freed from a witch's evil spell. The brothers continue their quest, and are successful. Now led by the dead monster's heart, their tribe will never know hunger, danger, or fear. The people eventually become slaves to the heart's whims. Finally, they reject it, and Blind Twin, whose sight has been restored, is reunited with the shaman. Rubalcaba has done a fine job of retelling this tale. The narrative flows smoothly, and the writing is crisp and lively. Descriptive phrases are sparse yet evocative. Toddy's vibrant oil paintings feature well-composed scenes, with bright color and an eye to detail. The themes of this tale are both universal and complex. At its center is an exciting, suspenseful tale of evil vanquished, but it is also a story of love and life's difficult moral choices.?Marilyn Taniguchi, Santa Monica Public Library, CA
