Speaking of kids, I should mentions some books for other b.org kids.

Leif, 6, has been really enjoying reading The Riot Brothers books by Mary Amato. He also really likes the Horace Splattly books by Lawrence David. He's read Scooby Doo, Baily School Kids, Magic Tree House, and A-Z Mystery books, but they haven't got him reading the way those other books have.

Emaryn, 9, is a reading machine, but she is an Artemis Fowl fangirl. She's reading another Eoin Colfer book right now as well, Benny and Babe, and enjoying that. She also really likes the Dear America series of historical fiction books, and all the various Laura Ingels Wilder books. Right now she's usually reading one book intermingled with re-reading an Artemis Fowl book.

What? FEMA incompetent? Finger-pointing? I am shocked.

No Way! I'm shocked as well.

Note to Buffista parents:

Do not, under any circumstances, let your 9 year old read Les Miserables, or to your 12 year old to read To The Lighthouse, no matter how advanced you think they might be.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Gud, has Emaryn read Caddie Woodlawn? It's a fiesty, pioneer girl book set here in Wisconsin. One of my FAVORITES when I was 9. (Still is, actually.)

No, I'll have to see if the library has it. I've marked the post for a library lookup tonight.

Les Misérables is so long, I can't even imagine picking it up to read at 9.

Our wings are not tired.

I was 11 when I read it, and enjoyed it very much. I even took to calling myself Cosette in my more dramatic moments.

The book that I picked up at 8 that wrecked me emotionally was Watership Down.

No problem, I'm thinking of getting her a copy of Upton Sinclair's The Jungle instead.

BWAH! Hope you're prepared to have a newly-created vegetarian at your table tonight!
