Another non-SF fan becomes a "Molly" fan…
Maybe I should market this book as "YA Urban Fantasy." Everyone is loving it, even those that normally wouldn't read sci-fi. I just hate to think how many people aren't trying the book because of genre. They're missing out!
Here's the Amazon review:

Great review at Carrie's YA Bookshelf
Wowsers. This is a great review from one of my favorite YA blogs. I wasn't even sure I could get Carrie to read the book, with blockbusters like CATCHING FIRE and GIRL IN ARENA garnering so much attention.

William Kamkwamba: Human Dynamo
