markd248 said: In his young adult novel, Tyger Tales, Jess Mowry makes use of the classic “parallel world” device, although his is no bucolic hundred acre wood in any classical sense. As usual, his world is dystopian, involving society’s misfits and cast-offs in a reeking, dangerous, squalid wasteland. Mowry is astute, however, in his choice of settings, if not brilliant for his ability to locate his para-world just beyond the gaze of “civilized” Americans. He knows that only adults are concerned with five star dining and accommodations, and that kids are essentially indifferent to dirt and squalor, especially when "more" comes at the cost of freedom
