I’ve had this on my shelf for a long time, but I’ve had such mixed luck with mid-grade YA fantasy that I’ve been putting it off. But at least when I get around to it, it’ll be short.

I've had this one on my stacks for a while now, and I've sort of avoided it because I can't imagine it's going to grab me the way some other books have for the younger set. .-= Andi´s last blog ..Birthday Bliss! =-.

I want to read this because I thought the author was so much at the Book Festival. Also there's a movie coming out. But it's good to know I shouldn't have too high of expectations! .-= Amy @ My Friend Amy´s last blog ..Say Hello To Your Friends....Baby-Sitters Club Week Day Two =-.

Great review! I get what you mean by books for kids written for kids... I sometimes see it too, sometimes, even in YA. I still want to try that one, too. I wonder if the movie will be any good? .-= Kay´s last blog ..Looking Forward to 2010 =-.

Wait… what kind of an associate are you?!

This sounds like a fun, light read. I enjoy stories that integrate mythology, but this might be too little-kid for me.

My son is a little older than the target audience for this book, but he loved it and has read all the sequels. I think that it sounds like a fun read, but I would also probably react the way you did because I am not really much a reader of children's literature. Great review! .-= zibilee´s last blog ..Home by Marilynne Robinson - 336 pgs =-.

I’ve got this book in my TBR pile. I like a quick, easy read from time to time, so I’m looking forward to picking it up. Now I know more about what to expect!

I loved this book even as an adult. I guess I am still a kid at heart

Kiddo and I read this together and I completely agree with everything you said. I really enjoyed reading it only b/c I was reading it with him and he was having such a blast. As an adult reader it wouldn't be for me, but as a mom reading wither her son it was perfect. .-= Heather J.´s last blog ..The Gathering Storm =-.
