Agreed. It's so hard to find books that are appropriately challenging but also appropriate in terms of subject matter! If they're happy with what they're reading--even if it's "easy," then I think that's what really counts.

After all, we can probably all read a grad school textbook, but we probably all pick up something significantly easier to read for pleasure from time to time, don't we? I don't see why our kids should be any different!
