Waterbound
A fascinating, troubling version of a future world which has cast out the disabled who have subsequently set up their own world in the maze of rivers which run under the city. Gem, risking the ever-watching eyes of the Admin, is taken down to the Waterbound and discovers relations who have been cast out. She witnesses the strength and courage they've needed to be survivors. This is a powerful story of these people's lives, their frustrations and the cruelties of a society unable to accept them, ending on a nicely triumphant note.
