Publisher's Synopsis
"I wanted to be the hero of this story, but instead I am the villain." Two worlds intertwine in this second of the "Our Side" Collection, where Mediators, Protectors, and Listeners travel the countryside of a simpler world to bring justice and harmony-yet outliers, dragons, ghoblainns, and shapeshifters bely the truth of a society that may not be so simple after all. Meanwhile, on the "Other Side", teenagers engage in the age-old ritual of cafeteria wars as they search for a place in modern society, and social hierarchy means everything to girls left on the outside with no way in. How do these seemingly conflicting worlds collide, and who will turn out to be the self-described "villain"? Find out in "The Shapeshifter's Tale", a story at once thought-provoking and intriguing, for young teens through adults and all those brought into the world of the "Other Side" through "The Listener's Tale".
