The Complete Wreck (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Books 1-13) 50 reviews Lemony Snicket
HarperCollins, 2006
My nine year old twin daughters love the books
+ brilliant
And are starting to read them through again. If you didn't get them one at a time, this is a nice set for a (pricey!) one time purchase. Nice quality hardcover books, and a poster and the case for the books.
I've only read them part way through myself. Very funny, very smart, and extremely ...

Finally filled the void
+ A very enjoyable read. + good and it gets better

Leven Thumps and the Gateway to Foo (Leven Thumps) 68 reviews Obert Skye
Aladdin, 2006
Can't Wait To Explore Foo
+ Fresh new fantasy + Wonderful Series
These days I find it easier and easier to sink into a fantasy novel written for juvenile readers. I don't know if it's the worlds I enjoy, or if it's the break from "adult" problems and issues. After giving the matter considerable attention, I've decided that part of what draws me to fiction for ...

Mister Monday (The Keys to the Kingdom, Book 1) 108 reviews Garth Nix
Scholastic, 2006
a fresh new look at children's fantasy
+ I Was Confused, but Eventually Caught On + A Great Fantasy
I have always had a particular interest in children/teen fantasy. I normally am an adult fantasy reader, but sometimes it is nice to read a book that isn't trying to play off like the real world. This book is such a clever, compelling read that I was sorely disappointed to have to wait for more. ...
