Treasures of Morrow was the first SF book I read that made me go looking for more by that author. My elementary school library had that but not Children of Morrow. It was around 1975, so I had no way to confirm that there actually was an earlier book until I found it at the public library.
Hoover's books generally are dystopias from the point of view of people who don't realize things are broken. I still like the ones I read as a child/tween/teen, but every single one I've approached from about the age of 16 on, I've bounced off of because I keep going, "Wait. Wait. What? That's terrible!" when I look at the societies.
