St. Michael's Scales

Rating:
Summary: A book for all ages and for the ages.
Review: Whew, this guy Connelly can write! He is funny and sad and poignant and often all at the same time. This book is technically listed as Young Adult but it works on every level you'd expect from literary fiction--the sense of craft and metaphor. I don't know who Connelly is but I wait faithfully for whatever he dreams up next. Buy two copies of this book and give one to a friend.
