Oh, that's Ghosts I Have Been, I think, Kathy! I loved that. Richard Peck and John Neufeld were huge staples for me.
Giles: I'm sure we're all perfectly safe. Dawn: We're safe. Right. And Spike built a robot Buffy to play checkers with. Tara: It sounded convincing when I thought it.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
Is she too young for Edward Eager, Sox? Because I really enjoyed them, and I think if she likes Narnia, she'll like those, too.

Ghosts I Have Been
Yes! Such a good book. It was spun off from The Ghost Belonged to Me, which is also excellent.

Elizabeth Enright! Gone-Away Lake! The Melanies! The Four Story Mistake!
Though I'm not sure of the proper age group on those.

Ooh, I loved Elizabeth Enright, though got a bit confused over some of the old-fashioned terminology. Also loved Edward Eager. And E Nesbit!!

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I still reread the Melendys and Gone-Away Lake every few years. I was grateful to Harry Potter's success, which got the Edward Eager books reprinted.
Also, there's Caddie Woodlawn, Blue Willow and Lois Lenski's books. I love Roller Skates, but she may be a bit young.
