Bound
This was a fun one to read. It is a Chinese Cinderella story about a girl named Xing Xing. In the story, Xing Xing befriends a white carp which she believes to be the reincarnation of her dead mother. Later, the stepmother kills the fish and feeds it to the daughters for dinner. Xing Xing isn't very hungry that night. There is also an incident when their pet possum eats the toes of the stepsister and he stepmother smashes the possum with a club until it's guts are smashed all over the inside of the cave.
My favorite part about this jacket is the constellation of a carp in the sky on the back cover.
