Butler, Octavia E. - Fledgeling : 352 pages, © 2005
Shori awakens in the forest badly burned, with no memory of who she is and how she came to be there. While she may look like a ten-year-old girl, Shori soon learns that much older, and craves human blood to survive. A high-tech, science fiction twist on the vampire story.
Red Flags:
While Shori is 53-years-old in the novel, she appears to be a young child; as her feeding process is highly sexual, this may make some readers uncomfortable. Violence, cursing, and sexuality. Race issues also appear (Shori appears to be African American, and faces discrimination).
Readalikes:
The Society of S by Susan Hubbard (appropriate for teens)
