Terry Boot has never had two legs. He's never had friends, good food, not even a mediocre education. All he's known is pain and a life with the Barduses, his senile grandparents, and their pot-bellied pig, Grudley. Terry's room is a dirty, dark, dank, gaping hole in the backyard, and he hasn't had a decent waking hour in eleven years of his pathetic life.
But all of this is about to change when a letter arrives at his hole, addressed to one "Harry Potter", and delivered by an owl messenger. A letter with an invitation to a wonderful place that he didn't know existed...and that he's not invited to...yet. Once there he finds not only another cripple to share his pain, but racism, favoritism, egotism, and many other isms that would take up too much space in this summary. Oh yeah, and one flippin' large polar bear. If only Terry can survive this year, he will have made a place for himself in the wizarding world...or at least another hole of sorts...but who is he kidding? Who could ever learn to accept a cripple?
