Ghosts I Have Been
Yes! Such a good book. It was spun off from The Ghost Belonged to Me, which is also excellent.
Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

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."

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!!

Yes, this is one of the many reasons why I love us.
Elizabeth Enright! Gone-Away Lake! The Melanies! The Four Story Mistake!

Is she too young for Edward Eager, Sox?

"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.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
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.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Sam the bat? I think that is short enough for you and great for pretty damn young on up.

HKF picked out a Judy Moody, another Ivy & Bean and a Junie B. Jones at the library. She was eying the magic tree house books too but I told her to start with what she could carry. I'm such a killjoy.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
OMG, Lenny Kravitz cast as Cinna in The Hunger Games.
I actually really like that!
