Title: Exceptional Novel
Product review: This novel is a sum greater than its parts; it is wise, exciting, compassionate, complex, vivid, insightful. In an adult book, the prospect of a fundamentalist preacher brings the groan, because you know he'll be a one-dimensional slime; it takes a children's book to make such a character three-dimensional. Look for Coville's humor, and Yolen's sense of poetry--and both are at their best at examining the female/male approaches to young love, and family dynamics, and questions about the universe and its meaning. This book is not "too young" for any reader.
