From a blog, now dis-continued, about historical novel for children Frontier Wolf by Rosemary Sutcliff:
It’s curious that this was marketed as a young adult novel – yes, the protagonist is young and the book is short (196 pages), but it’s a regular novel that some teens would enjoy if they are advanced readers.

May 12th Thursday. Got Dr Eve to come and look at two big moles on my back, I have had them as long as I remember and never bothered about them but with the media having “European Cancer Week” and my newspapers and magazines having articles about moles turning into skin cancer, just thought I should., However , he said he could reassure me as soon as he looked at them, nothing of themselves of the kind that turn into anything else. A weight off my mind!
