A week before the book had to be read, I went browsing. We had to talk to the class about the book, why we'd chosen it, and whether we'd use it as a class book (why/why not). One of our last assignments was to read a book-any book-from the YA/teen section of the university library, a section I hadn't paid much attention to prior to that class. I checked library catalogs intermittently throughout high school, but never with any luck.Īnd then, in my junior year of college, I took an adolescent literature course. I got a few hits for the latter, but none of them were the book I sought (but I did get a hit on a VC Andrews book that I did read). I searched both Darkangel and Dark Angel. A few years later, our town library networked their catalog with those of the other libraries in northwest Ohio, and I went back to check the other libraries. I figured it must've been one of the books the school library borrowed from the public library, but they didn't have a listing for it either. When I got to sixth grade, I went back to the library in search of it. So I reluctantly returned it to the library, having only read maybe twenty pages I returned it early in the morning when the librarian wasn't in the library yet so that I wouldn't have to admit to her that she had been right, that it was a little too old for me.īut I certainly didn't forget about. Unfortunately, my reading skills weren't quite up to the challenge of reading this fantasy book written for kids much older than me. I loved the summary on the back and was determined to read it. Still, that didn't stop me from checking The Darkangelout of the school library when I was in third grade.
These books are definitely intended for at least a junior high audience.
