Sue,
I don't disagree with you, but the detective's
mother was clearly bipolar and/or clinically depressed and coincidentally, his baby sister had hallucinations at an
early age? That's kind of
unheard of to happen that early, and when it does, I am not sure she would be all that functional as an
adult. Anyway, why not explore
genetic components to the mental illness in the family and concerns that the detective himself may have considered (and perhaps dismissed) having a serious illness himself?
I don't understand how they could go down that road, and not completely flush it out in that instance.
Yes, thanks for the link!
Le Nub, I had kind of forgot
about the mother already.
I think she was trying
to tie the sister's craziness to the trauma of her mother trying to take her with her when she committed suicide and may not have thought making a genetic link.
I'm not sure what she intended. His
sister's illness was all over the place. I think it was more poetic license than anything else.
Scola, I'm a couple eps behind and will be stalled for the next month and a half, so I can't comment on that.
There's apparently some scepticism that
Griff is who they say.
Polgara, I tried that before I read the books. It went badly.
Erin, I will be SHOCKED if
Jon is/stays dead.
I need book recommendations for a 6 year-old (in two weeks!) who reads at a 3rd grade level. Short chapter book series or comic books would be awesome. He's kind of over Magic Treehouse, and we already own everything Roald Dahl ever wrote.
I'm looking at the 2-3rd grade reading lists on the NYPL site, and I can't tell what's age-appropriate content-wise.

You're going to have to stop being such awesome parents; you're making all the other kids look bad.
I had nothing to do with it! Blame his kindergarten teacher.

The Magic Trixie comics by Jill Thompson? Bone?
The Complete Calvin and Hobbes!
Encyclopedia Brown?
Alfred Hitchcok and the 3 Investigators?
I think when I was reading at a 3rd grade level (in 3rd grade) I was reading All The Animal Stories. So lots of Jim Kjellgaard (Big Red, etc.) and Island of the Blue Dolphins and Black Stallion etc.
