One of my favorite recent middle grade novels, The Heart of a Shepherd, was named one of the year's best by Horn Book. I'm thrilled. The book has just the right combination of action, adventure, drama, and humor. Yet it also has a character-driven plot, and raises questions about life, death, and faith.
I wish I could pull this off so well!
I'll have to check this out. Who is the author? I'm always looking for good reads...

Another fascinating book I just read is THE BOY WHO HARNESSED THE WIND. It's for adults, but recommended for teens, too.
