Title: Despicable use of a disabled person as a villain
Review: Jenny Nimmo uses an albino character in her book obviously without ever having met a real person with albinism, therefore she doesn't realize that there is a difference between albino rodents and albino people. Human irises are not red; without any pigment at all they are white, and with even less than 1% of pigment they are blue, a very beautiful blue I might add. I think people would be repulsed if Nimmo had used a deaf person, or someone with MS, or any other kind of disability as her bad guy. I think her contribution to the store of general ignorance and prejudice in the world is the last thing that preteen readers need.
