Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Parenting and Advocacy what book your kid is reading this week

dd7 is reading horrible sceince books and magazines and the secret garden (she discovered the classics)
dd8 is reading the princess academy - it's a school assignment

We have the general horrible science one - love it, I think I like it as much as DS 5.5!!! Can't wait to get more. Are the magazines worth it, aren't different enough from the books?

DeHe

I must admit, I had quite the giggle saying "Deputy Doody" lol!

DD 6...reading trying to read all the Catwings books in a day and DD9 is reading Dancing Shoes.

DS almost 3 is reading the MTH book on Thanksgiving and The Nutcracker. He also reads a book on digestion over and over again.

Yes recommend the magazines too, dd has the books too but the magazines she is obsessed with, I think because their colorful and come with goodies, like a heart or the lungs, or a skeleton and at the end of each there's a couple of pages with activities which she loves

Methinks I'll have to get some Horrible Science magazines for ds8 - is the best place the same place you can get the books from ? Can't think of it right now but have it bookmarked somewhere !

purchased the magazines through

http://www.horriblebooks.com/orderinfo.htm

the books I had gotten through e-bay a while ago, I didn't know about this place at the time

We are all Warriors (Erin Hunter) all the time over here right now. Well, and Peanuts.

My reluctant reader has found a book he loves !! It's "The Secret Science Alliance and the Copycat Crook" by Eleanor Davis - this is part of the description on Amazon -
"Grade 3-7�Julian Calendar, 11, is a supersmart transfer student trying desperately to fit in at his new middle school. Just when he starts to believe that he'll never find his place, he discovers two other brilliant minds and together they form the Secret Science Alliance. These three braniacs create their own book of blueprints for such cunning creations as the stinkometer, sticky and dangerous gluebombs, and the flying Kablovsky Copter.""
It's a graphic/comic book novel - perfect !! Shame she hasn't written any others like it yet !!
