| When my friend Nick Licata gave me a copy of Princess Bianca and the Vandals, of course I agreed to review it for Nonprofit Online News. There were only two problems: It's a young adult novel and I have yet to review a work of fiction here. And what was I to do if I didn't like the book? I was almost afraid that the more the book embraced the community and environmental values that would make it appropriate for this publication, the more likely it was to be didactic. Reading the book has solved my problem for me. It's a thoroughly entertaining novel for young adults and a sweet lesson on the importance of human connections with each other and with the natural world. I recommend it.
