Slettbyrd

A Young Adult novel by acclaimed author Jenny Moore. Ninety-nine years of winter. Ninety-nine years since the first white-haired, three-thumbed slettbyrd - the scourge of the Gj-rdish people - was born.

To save her, 14-year-old Janeck Potetsky will have to relearn everything he thought he knew about the world. He-ll have to take on the wild, snowy wastelands and the brutal prejudices of a century-long regime. He-ll have to defeat the all-powerful Slettseeker- or die trying.
