Lizard Radio
by Pat Schmatz


"Fifteen-year-old Kivali has had a rough time in a gender-rigid culture.  Abandoned as a baby and raised by Sheila, an ardent nonconformist, Kivali has always been surrounded by uncertainty.  Where did she come from?  Is it true what Sheila says, that she was deposited on Earth by the mysterious saurians?  What are you? people ask, and Kivali isn't sure.  Boy/girl?  Human/lizard?  Both/neither?  Now she's in CropCamp, with all of its schedules and regs, and the first real friends she's ever had.  Strange occurrences and complicated relationships raise questions Kivali has never before had to consider.  But she has a gift--the power to enter a trancelike state to harness the 'knowings' inside her.  She has Lizard Radio.  Will it be enough to save her?" -from the publisher



What We Saw
