The Batimaeus Trilogy and The Septimus Heap series are both really good and age-appropriate.

Haven’t written in awhile but books always get me. Please do run…not walk to get all 5 books in the percy jackson series. They are the best kids series I’ve read since harry potter. I agree with one of the posters about “hunger games” but think it may be a bit old for kali at this point. Still that one, its sequel and “the book thief” were the best young adult titles I read last year!

The original Jungle Books. Madeline L’Engle may be a bit much but then she may be able to handle it. My Side of the Mountain.

I love to read…would just like to recommend a book titled “The Mouth of Babes” by Tosin Coker. Here is a trailer. It’s science fiction and one of my favorites…:o)

I, too, love to read. My 9 year old loved to also, until this year. They are assigned to read for 20 minutes a day, and then answer 1 question about what they read. He’s in 4th grade and I think his teacher is a lazy ass! (Another story, though)

I think this is an awesome idea! You pick a book and then she picks a book. I bet she will pick some that you read when you were younger and had forgotten about!!

Get back on your blog schedule, woman!! We miss you!!

If she’s 10, maybe she would like the Charlie Bones series. When I was her age, I liked the Little House on the Prairie series, Anne of Green Gables, etc. Those are classics. Maybe the Lemony Snicket series? “The Giver” by Lois Lowry is age-appropriate and would definitely spark discussion between the two of you. Great story.

She’s going to have to read books she doesn’t like when she’s in college and pursing those 3 PhDs that I insist she receive before marrying. She might as well get used to reading some things that aren’t up her alley. There’s still benefit in it, and she’ll still have the pride of accomplishment when she’s finished. I think you absolutely must make her finish what she started.

Let me think about the books. How old is Kali now? 11?
