I am Ralph Fletcher, author of this book. For the record, I think Also Known As Rowan Pohi is young adult not middle grade (though some middle grade readers will be able to handle it). It's not nearly as intense as some of the dystopian novels out there, but it certainly is young adult.Ralph Fletcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10109867553855650654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633585358542564797.post-78059056527122791172011-11-21T11:20:39.127-08:002011-11-21T11:20:39.127-08:00We shelve this in the YA section, but I can see fr...We shelve this in the YA section, but I can see from your review that it would be enjoyed by that 10 to 14 range (the same level as Percy Jackson). Sounds like fun.<br /><br />Have to confess, my friends and I invented a person in high school who took out library books and owed a lot of late fees by the end of the year! Doubt you could get away with that now.Joanne R.

It would depend on the reader. Would I read this to my nine-year-old? Probably not but definitely 11-13 year olds. Anything older than that I don't think it has enough angst and romance. <br /><br />And, yes I would be happy to add you to my MMGM sidebar!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02953440041536434213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633585358542564797.post-44502544983765071932011-11-21T09:03:28.081-08:002011-11-21T09:03:28.081-08:00I really love the sound of this, but wouldn't ...I really love the sound of this, but wouldn't this book be considered YA, not middle grade?<br /><br />Can you add me to your MMGM sidebar?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633585358542564797.post-7294514273118986152011-11-21T07:51:03.920-08:002011-11-21T07:51:03.920-08:00Oh, wow!
