queensthiefAnother one from Blogspot. I thought it quite interesting, and well done. And the plot summary has no spoilers! w00t!
Gen, a filthy charmer, complains and carries on throughout the trip, alternately annoying and surprising his companions. He is funny, witty, whining, egoistical, clever, and clear-sighted-- immediately sizing up his fellow travelers.
and
As with all good YA fiction, this book appeals to adults as well. It was a Newberry Honor Book in 1997 and deservedly so, as Turner does such a marvelous job with the characters and the plot. There is a section called Extras at the end of the book that includes a wonderful section about Turner's inspiration and her favorite books and authors.
I'm looking forward to seeing her reviews of QoA and KoA.

I wonder about this however -

why? because it is adults who decide if a YA book is "Good" or not?
