Rooth is an open-minded young girl who is born into a narrow-minded world of conflict and opposition. Refusing to accept the partial views of those around her, she lets her curious eyes wander around all sides of a Trooth.The elders are dismayed but the other children are delighted when they see what she sees - and they will never be the same again."

Ollie and Uma are inseparable friends growing up in a world of inequalities that threaten to tear their friendship apart.In their effort to change the nature of the game that perpetuates these conditions, they discover that conflict and violence lead to new forms of inequality and injustice.Justice and equality, they learn, are best achieved through constructive and unifying strategies of social change.
