I like Hunter Woods and his writing. He writes at the lowest age range I want to carry on the site, and that may be why no-one has mentioned his work yet. Recovered: An Unlikely Friendship is the most developed of his stories. Ok, that's an odd thing to say. What I mean is that he has taken his characters and is using them to illustrate many intertwined themes.

I see discrimination because of unfamiliarity, physical and sexual abuse, bullying, parents who judge too early (what child has not suffered from idiot adults who judge based upon their own experiences, not the child's?), handling of disability, and much more. Sam, our hero, starts off spiky and hard to like. I'll let you judge whether he becomes easier to like as the story progresses.
