Helpful Score: 3
This book is one I read as a young adult but it really stuck out as one that did not treat the reader as a child, similar to Pullman's Dark Material series. I still really appreciate that today. It is a wonderful coming of age story, with a great adventure as well. My brother who is reads much less than I do also cites this as one of his favorite books from childhood, so I would definitely recommend this book as something worth your time at any age!
