Susan Gates

I've just noticed that Dusk which I blogged a few days earlier (sorry, can't manage the links while standing up, can't yet sit down to type for very long) is also by Susan Gates. Interesting that she gets the younger children hooked on facts-in the way that younger children often are--but can't make the shift up to the older child's curiosity-mode but leaves them instead in a state of mild dismissal of real information.
