Shai might like Babysitters Club or Boxcar
Children. I LOVED those when I was
younger. Also, Magic Treehouse and maybe A
Series of Unfortunate Events.
I was a really advanced reader so I never
read anything at my age level, so other
that that I'm really out of suggestions.
Oh, has your son read any of the Arthur
books? Those are always good.
My personal favorite when it comes to
children's books is, hands down, If You
Give a Mouse a Cookie...

that's finn's favorite! he brings it to me
about 10 times a day.
i'd make some suggestions but i don't
really know how age appropriate they would
be. the pigeon books by mo willems are
great, your younger kids might like those.
oh! skippyjon jones! those books are my
favorites! they're about a siamese cat who
thinks he's a chihuahua.
i also loved babysitter's club when i was
about 10.

Ava loves all of the pigeon books and so
do I. They're by Mo Willems. There's
Don't Let the Pigeon Stay Up Late, Don't
Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus, The Pigeon
has Feelings Too, The Pigeon Finds a
Hotdog, and there's more.

When I was 10 I liked Cynthia Voigt (sp?
I'm too lazy to google her name right
now). She wrote Homecoming, Dicey's song,
A Solitary Blue... there's a whole series.
I also liked Madeleine L'Engle (A Wrinkle
in Time), oh and a book called From the
Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E.
Frankweiler. I also liked The Little
Prince and The Indian in the Cupboard
books. Ummm....I'll think of more.

I forgot about From the Mixed-Up Files of
Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler! I LOVED that
book!
I read The Little Prince in 7th grade and
honestly didn't like it. Then again, we
also got forced into reading Plato's
Allegory of the Cave, so I think I was
protestingish.

I think I might have to re-read it. We
were all so pissed about the Allegory of
the Cave that we didn't take the time to
really appreciate the book. I'll pick up a
copy at the library tomorrow.
