This is really a strange book, but it's strange in a way that is distictly beautiful. That's probably the best way I can think of to describe its protagonist as well; it's stange enough that an androgenous teddy bear should come to life, magically give birth, and stand trial for crimes he didn't commit, but this particular bear - Winkie - has got to be the creepiest stuffed animal there ever was. And there are pictures. Just as the book unexpectedly reveals its true depth and breadth with astonishingly poetic depictions of mundane things, Winkie him/herself becomes sureptitiously complex, gorgeous, and human as his thoughts are revealed. If you're up for something bizarre and unexpected, you won't be disappointed.
Its a typical teenage angst story but I loved her descriptions. Its not earth-moving fiction but you have to hand it to those Newberry folk...
