Adventures in Time and Space with Max Merriwell
Pat Murphy, on UtopiA
Frybabe, "Tehanu" is a sequel to Leguin's Earthsea Trilogy written for young adults ("A Wizard of Earthsea", "The Tombs of Atuan", and "The Farthest Shore") and would be more intelligible after reading the other 3.
I like "Left Hand of Darkness" a lot, but it's slow-starting.
