Midwinterblood by Marcus Sedgwick
2.0

I asked a teacher for a suggestion on what YA author to read. I've dabbled in quite a few YA authors, but I haven't read anything by Sedgwick. This book was my first of his, and to be honest, I thought it was pretty strange. But strange doesn't mean bad and it wraps up nicely at the end.
I would use this book in a junior high or high school setting to help teach students to look for themes in the things they read. I wouldn't recommend this book to people that have a hard time staying interested in reading, but I would recommend it to any teenager looking for a unique, interesting read.
