I want to shout out a great THANK YOU to all of you who recommended
The Golem and the Jinni. I finished it about a week ago and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Since then I've read a set of four books for mid-grade kids -- an adventure story spread across all four books -- Series is called
Return to Titanic and tells the story of two 8th-grade kids who are flung 100 years into the past to experience the sinking of the Titanic. Pretty good book.
I'm about 20 pages from the end of
The Best of All Possible Worlds by Karen Lord. This is an outstanding science fiction novel that I highly recommend. After reading so many military SF novels over the past year or so, this is refreshing in that it really deals with clashing cultures.
I'm not sure what's up next -- probably
The Leper of Saint Giles by Ellis Peters, book 5 in the Cadfael mysteries.
