	Classic Science Fiction Reviews
		In The Chrysalids, the friendship between the children David and Sophie, forged upon his discovery of the sixth toe that would doom her if publicly revealed, is both subtle and real.
		And there's one marvelous, haunting scene that lodges in the memory: a mother's futile pleas for her baby, whose mutation is described only as "such a little thing," and which is never revealed to either David or the reader.
		The Chrysalids grows downright unnerving in its final sections, when the rescuers from New Zealand not only massacre David's pursuers in a truly unnerving use of superior technology, but then spend a couple of pages explaining at length why this was just another justified example of evolution in action.

		They have emerged from the chaos of an after-the-holocaust world and have reached a stage of organized community life, farmlands, and a strict and stern inflexible morality based on a dark, incomprehensible fear of an unknown past.

		Then David discovers rather forcefully that his younger sister Petra too is "different." A series of events soon finds David, Petra and others like them forced to flee for their very lives from the community that once nurtured but now reviles them.

		The Chrysalids is in reality a study in prejudice, and acceptance in society.

		The title “The Chrysalids” signifies that it is a novel about change.
