Tamora Pierce is really brilliant. Unfortunately most bookshops put her in the 8-12 years section, so I kind of saunter in, looking side to side for staff and little kids. Aaargh! Then I go home and read the stuff it says about, ahem, getting pregnant and wonder why they think just because it's fantasy it has to be childish...
