I wasn’t sure I wanted a glimpse into Rule’s life before he met Lily, but this was a nice little story. I wouldn’t say it’s not to be missed, but it’s a quick read, and it gives fans of the series a look at Rule when he’s first entering the human world and trying to make sense of it. ( )

Nice short story that gives background on Rule when he is first learning to interact with human culture as a 16-year-old and learns to deal with human bullies. ( )
