Judith: Yes... Did my graduate work on children's sci fi -- she wrote a
trilogy called THE EARTHSEA TRILOGY that she later (20 years or so) came
back to, writing a fourth book called TEHANU. Pretty complex, and perhaps
not a young adult book at all. (I'm still thinking it through, anyway.)

Has anyone read Le Guin's essays -- DANCING ON THE EDGE OF THE WORLD-- ?
