This book is a wonderful book for all ages and is especially a good one for book clubs. Although the book is geared primarily towards jr. high or middle school youth, adults will take away even more from this book, its story and message. At work (a University in the midwest) we are reading the entire triology set and discussion regarding the books have been wonderful, varied and thought-provoking to say the least. I hope that you decide to read the book and see why people recommend it.
