    It is perhaps uplifting to have a teenage heroine who purges her precious hair because it gets in her way living in a world of teens obsessed with their self-image. Kristin Cashore’s unconventional and engrossing first novella‚ “Graceling‚” has such a heroine. Katsa is hard-hitting‚ stubborn‚ beautiful‚ and consumed by unrelenting ethical concerns. She is particularly serious; one could say she lacks a sense of humor. The story is set in a rich fantasy world where children born with extreme aptitudes
