If I didn't get her name right, tell me, and I'll fix it.

Some of her stuff is really cool, some is weird, and some is... interesting. I'm particularly interested in hearing from people who have read "Jackaroo" or its sequals. Jackaroo wasn't as good as I expected it to be, but it was still cool. And I read one of the others in the series that was really, really good but I can't remember the name of it. It was about a slave boy, who was an incredible leader...

In a world without superheroes, who will stand against the forces of evil?

I have never heard of this author, Vanya. What is Jackaroo about?

I think it's Voigt, but I'm not sure. :P

I haven't read "Jackaroo" yet, but I've read "Dicey's Song" and "Seventeen Against the Dealer" (though that was a long, long time ago). I'd love to read the book about the slave boy. :)
