My second book for this challenge, Karen Cushman's Will Sparrow's Road, was shorter and younger-skewing. I haven't been reading or writing about as much middle grade lately, so it was good to get into that.From the review: "I love Karen Cushman's writing for the vivid way it brings history to life, but also for its complicated, realistic, and not always likeable main characters. Will is both hardened by life and tremendously naive, taking people at face value yet unsurprised when they betray him. Both of these qualities are things he has to unlearn in the course of the book."
I think I may pick up something more sci-fi-ish for my next book. I've been in a sci-fi mood lately.

This wasn't my favorite Karen Cushman ever, but even a not quite as good Karen Cushman is still pretty great.
