DICKINSON, Peter. The ropemaker. Random House, Delacorte. 375p. c2001. 0-38573063-2. $7.95. JS*
O happy reader who is just now discovering Peter Dickinson! Every book he writes--whether a mystery for adults or a story for young people--possesses an unforgettable voice, a distinctive setting, utterly human characters, and a dash of the unexpected to set things moving. Dickinson writes with equal persuasiveness about children in prehistoric Africa (The Kin Trilogy), in ancient Egypt (The Blue Hawk), and in versions of the modern world (Emma Tupper's Diary, AK, Eva, The Changes Trilogy).
