    I don't know if this has mentioned before, and I'm sure many of you know about it - but thought I'd share in case there are those who haven't come across it. If you go to www.scholastic.com, teacher section, and click on the book wizard tab, you can search for books in all age levels/reading levels - and mix and match them, if you see what I mean ? Check it out and play around, and see what you think smile

    I have found those very useful for series.

    DS9 just started this series. If I remember correctly there are 20 books. That should keep him busy for a month. LOL We watched a movie first before he read the first book.

    Thank you. I'm sure he will read that one too.

    DS6 just discovered the Warriors cat series, and he's actually been reading again! He always wants us to read to him, and complains about reading on his own, but he loves reading about the cat clans. We couldn't get him to start from the beginning of the series, though - he just had to start with "Firestar," because the name was so cool...

    I have an extremely avid reader here too. I go to am@zon.com and search the books. I also look at the picks they suggest based on other books. We liked series books but they eventually get old for us and we move on to other things. We read the 39 clues a few years ago and those are old news. We read the lemony snicket (first few books... but when one wasn't quite as good, we moved on.) I have gotten several books that I thought she'd like and then she happened to start reading another book and the one I got just didn't get read etc. She often would read several books at once. Now the number of pages is getting so big, she doesn't read as many books because it takes longer. Anything less than 200 pages and it's done in what seems like half an hour. We got bigger books and now it seems more worthwhile. I love books myself, can't help it so I love that DC loves to read just as much. I have a kindle and I couldn't live without the thing! Always have a new book at my fingertips. DD likes to read on it too.

    I told her I would get her one when she's a little bigger smile
