Then I was upset that The Thief was so low in the rankings! So I made sure to include it this time. Because it is one of my favorite children's novels, and judging by how young my boys were when we read it, definitely a children's novel, in my view.

As much as I adore THE THIEF and his cohorts--especially Costis--this is an excellent and appropriate spot. Brandy, I’m glad that you played fair and didn’t alert Sounis.

I think it only gets better from here, but this particular book does fit most in the children's section. Love the leap!

I kept wondering if someone was going to post on Sounis that the poll was happening again. (I didn't because I thought it wouldn't be playing fair. Not that Gen would care much about that.) YES!!!

Not that the rest in the series aren't just as remarkable, but everything about the ending of this one was SO unexpected; even with the next one you kept waiting for the twist. And let's face it, anything recommended by DWJ HAS to be genius. This is truly a remarkable book.
