Otto From Otherwhere was one of my favourite books as a kid and remains so to this day. Set in San Antonio, its about an extra-terrestrial boy found by two children and adopted into their family until he can find a way home. Due to his unusual appearance (three fingers, no nose, ears, or hair) he is picked on by students at first though later accepted by some. Being an outcast for most of my school years, I found myself identifying with the main character and his struggles in being accepted by a small minded culture. Having been adopted by a loving family, Otto struggles to assimilate in a culture that is considered just as alien as his. Beginning to form a love for the family and a respect for the people around him make it more difficult for Otto to choose whether he will stay or return home when the opportunity arises. During this time he battles a near fatal illness, stares from people he encounters on a daily basis, and the cruelty of school bullies and people who fear that which is different. A heartwarming story to readers both young and old, Otto from Otherwhere is sure to appeal to science fiction fans as well as the general reader.
