“Six Notes of Cicada Songs” is about a girl who finds a cicada near the camp where she lives with her parents, though I suppose there is also a case for describing it as the story of a cicada who finds a family, rises to prominence as a singer, and is thrust into the center of a struggle for ownership and power. Both descriptions only tell a tiny piece of the story, and while there are have been many stories about young girls and their animal companions, there has never been one quite like this.
