I definitely got more out of this book by reading it as an adult. While I still enjoyed the story (an epic adventure tale if ever one was told) I felt like I appreciated the author's thoughts/statements on religion, faith, eternal life,... which is all stuff that I don't think I slowed down for much when I first read it as a teen.
Newbery Award Goal Status: While this one won (I love using homonyms back to back) a National Book Award, it lost out to Julie of the Wolves
when it came time to hand out the 1973 Newbery Now on to Tehanu (The Earthsea Cycle, Book 4)
(which won a Nebula... not a Newbery, I need to get back on task)
