I can't think of any reason why not.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Me neither, I just feel like I don't actually know about kids!

Yeah, not my area of expertise, either. But I figure anyone who read all of Harry Potter will be up for Updraft. Unless they are hardcore wizard narratives only, I guess.

Our wings are not tired.
Jesse, I would say yes. And if the kid were going to read to himself or herself, I'd probably offer a one-sheet for knot and sailing terms (and a few others) unless kid was keen on dictionaries.
I know the author posts here (hee) but other than the protagonists being adolescent, I don't feel like the books are YA at all. They're not written with vocabulary chosen for teens and I had to look some of the terms up when I was reading (which I like). But the content and story and themes are absolutely appropriate I would think, especially if kid made it through the darker Harry Potter books.

I bet the kid's grandfather would be glad to tell her alllll about knots and sailing, so that would be fun.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Everybody must get stoned!
It's weird to see that, because I've been earwormed by Dylan all morning ("Lily, Rosemary, and the Jack of Hearts" popped up on shuffle on my way home from work last night.)
The times, they are a changin'.
