At least, that's my argument."<BR/><BR/>Seems reasonable to me, Gail. I haven't actually re-read Beekeeper's Apprentice in a while, so I can't comment on the themes (not without spoilers for the later books, anyway). But I think that what you're saying about theme in general supports the whole gateway theory - if YAs find one or two themes that resonate with them, in a book filled with other themes, that will pull them, some of them, anyway, towards adult literature.Jen Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10343476550309656223noreply@blogger.com
