Ginny Moore Kruse is undoubtedly one of the very finest critics or essayists in the youth literature field or perhaps any other. Her skillfully crafted sentences flow or sometimes zing, a perfect balance of intellectual vocabulary and down to earth words which include just the right examples to prove her point about the work under discussion. Actually, "crafted" may be the wrong word because everything seems to flow so effortlessly from her, without art or design. And, damn it, she always makes me read everything she likes whether I want to read it or not! It looks like I'll miss something really special if I don't.
