bandersnatch and brain child

Made a good haul at the Book Stop on 4th Ave recently - they have an excellent collection of classic sci-fi, as well as really good kids authors like Avi and Roald Dahl.

Bandersnatch by Kevin O'Donnell, Jr.  A first novel, which I generally like - fresh if sometimes rough.  Here's a book-length fable to go with Hillel's "If I'm not for myself, who will be?" - in Bandersnatch's world, if you don't stick up for yourself you become a target fast.
