Yocheved's Bookshelf - Under the Hill

Dear Readers,

I've always deeply disliked the humorless name of the "Young Adult" genre.

As a teen, I wondered if I was expected to apologize while speculating about how to solve the world's political woes, and to eat small prunes (in those days I was not yet considered old enough to be savvy about "real world" problems and practical solutions, nor in need of "Older Adult"-sized prunes). Now that I provide book reviews for readers between the ages of 12 and 18, I'd like to add some laughs to the situation. I welcome you to the debut of the "Under the Hill" genre for readers young enough to laugh at the stuffiness of some adults and smart enough to listen to the wisdom of older peers welcoming them to the world of adulthood. I hope you'll enjoy the prune-free reviews to be posted in the future.
