Ahhh...the contrast of creating the right welcoming...

There exists in writing Wormwood valley a contrast that continues to present a problem, akin to the removal of a wart from the nasal crest of a giant Wormwood Forest Root Ogre.

This contrast is creating the proper introduction to Wormwood Valley for young readers, and yet, adequately providing interest in Wormwood Valley's primary character, Eye Ball Boy (or E.B. for short as he prefers to be called). If he were nothing other than a regular human lad, then perhaps the problem would not be quite as extensive, but his strange and somewhat disturbing physical feature (or lack thereof) provides quite the challenge. How does one become instantly "attached" to a young boy that consists of little more than a giant eyeball, and a set of gangly pre-teen limbs draped in faded jeans and a grey hooded sweatshirt?

Such is the twisted realm of Wormwood Valley!
