Maybe I need to take a closer look at those.<br /><br />Sharon: A surprising number of the kids seem to see reading that way, especially as they get into upper middle school and high school.<br /><br />Ellen: We have "Ender's Game" but I haven't heard of "More Than Human." I'll check it out!<br /><br />Mary: I tried Nancy Drew. This girl wanted none of it. As for the Narnia books, we DO have them, but again, I wouldn't say they're current faves.<br /><br />Linda Sue: I don't know "Snow Child." But "Priscilla" couldn't hurt anyone!<br /><br />Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-46604119246157433762014-11-20T01:02:55.268+00:002014-11-20T01:02:55.268+00:00Snow Child is a good read for that age , though th...Snow Child is a good read for that age , though the boys would probably think it is corny...but what do I know, My son was reading x rated stuff at age seven...he cut his teeth on Beetlejuice and Priscilla Queen of the desert, and had memorized The Rocky Horror Picture Show by age eight. He is not warped, so I guess It's OK.<br /> Linda Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03070050388987072100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-48648463135911139232014-11-19T16:21:56.929+00:002014-11-19T16:21:56.929+00:00"Nancy Drew" and "The Lion the Witc..."Nancy Drew" and "The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe"?
