Recommendation by Pamela
Should we keep it?  YES
Why?  It's a very exciting sequel to The Ropemaker, and it raises interesting questions about teamwork, emotional wounds, jealousy, and the need for people with differences.

This book was part of the Last Call book display in the teen section during November and December. Thanks to everyone who participated!

Recommendation by Pamela
Should we keep it?
Why?  This book is encouraging to people who feel like a disappointment to their families.  Tilja's lack of magical talent turns out to be the gift that is needed to save two countries.  Also, it's fun.
