I'm bookmarking all of these because they're awesome.
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."
Harriet the Spy Where the Sidewalk Ends Nancy Drew(although I might have been a little older for those...)
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!!
(Hi, we're buffistas. We could recommend books ALL DAY LONG)
(Hi, we're buffistas. We could recommend books ALL DAY LONG)
Yes, this is one of the many reasons why I love us.
Elizabeth Enright! Gone-Away Lake! The Melanies! The Four Story Mistake!
with emphasis! Love love love.
Is she too young for Edward Eager, Sox?
not sure - looking
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.
One of my first chapter books, and I still re-read it, was The Boxcar Children. I recently read some of the sequals, where they solved mysteries, but they are not as good. I would, probably enjoy them still if I were a child.
Amy- I loved Jane-Emily but it scared me! The cover was freaky.
