Review: This doesn't really count. But I tried reading this book. Terry Pratchett is one of my favorite authors, and I've been dying for the opportunity to read this book. I wasted three days trying to force myself to enjoy and understand this raved about, very highly recommended book. Were I to have limitless time, I may have persevered just to see if I got to a point where I actually liked the book. Unfortunately, time is of the essence this semester, and I fell asleep each time I tried to read this book. I am only including it at all because I think it says something about a YA book when it is difficult to understand and not very engaging somewhere towards the beginning of the book. Also, I personally decided to cut my losses... I can't imagine what a tween would do.
Reading Level: 11-14 (supposedly)
Characters: There's a sailor. And a kid named Mau. And other characters maybe.
Similar Titles: I really don't know enough about the book to fill this part out. I'd say My Side of the Mountain, because it has that 'survivor' theme.
