T. Kingfisher's Minor Mage
Ursula Vernon's latest book under her T. Kingfisher name centers on a twelve year old boy, the titular minor mage, who has to go on a quest to find rain for his drought-stricken village. Because this is an Ursula Vernon story, he's accompanied by his familiar, a sarcastic armadillo. Tee hee. Like her Summer in Orcus, I think this is really fine for older kids/teens to read, but does have some grim/gross moments and creepy monsters. But it's also very funny, and full of adventures, and awesome. A-.
