It's been a while since I found a book that can truly be called genderless (in that it has wide appeal across the board). That's sort of how I approach The Strange Case of Origami Yoda. If the book is strong, the premise believable, and the characters well developed then you're gonna have fans of all sorts, regardless of gender. Boys read Babymouse all the time and girls dig Diary of a Wimpy Kid. "Oh, boys won't read anything with a pink cover." "Oh, girls won't pick up a book unless there's some romance in it." Phooey. You see these stereotypes referred to all the time. By which I mean, the novel that perfectly balances out the stereotypical vision of what boys like in a book versus what stereotypical girls like in a book. Let us now sit back and consider what the ultimate boy/girl middle grade novel would contain. ![]()
