Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

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."

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.

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.

Sam the bat? I think that is short enough for you and great for pretty damn young on up.
