While not a young adult novel, I was mesmerized by the fascinating history of the Valley. The history of the valley is richer and far more interesting than most of its inhabitants realize. Good for browsing, looking at the pictures, but be careful, you may get hooked into the fascinating reading. Reed Reads Score: 4
