Books You Want to Read

...or recommend

"Books? You want books?! Ha! We've got books on hairy otters, on onions and on mars! All the fungus you could care for, plus, three triple zillion stars. We've got books on flossing teeth, plus three books on tossing sheep. If we spent our lives just counting books, we'd never get to sleep!" -Leopold the Librarian ("The Great Wishy Woz")

I agree! Very good book!

I recommend any Hardy Boys or Nancy Drew books! Always an excellent read.

left behind the kids is great! Also, if you are looking for very far-out, funny, easy to read, fictional books I recommend Dan Gutman's books, especially 'the kid who ran for president' and 'the kid who became president'. They are hilarious. \:D/ Nancy drew and hardy boys books are good too.

I have two books I can't recommend enough.

1. 'The Westing Game' by Ellen Raskin. This is probably one of the best (and funniest) mysterys I have ever read. The characters are well formed, and Turtle is a riot.

2. 'Awake and Dreaming' by Kit Pearson. I love this book so much, because you really get to care about Theo and what happens to her. I also love Cecily, because when she was a little girl she sounded just like me. And the very best part was Theo and Cecily's final conversation. What Cecily said about writers and writing was BANG ON. However, I must warn you that this book can get rather angsty at parts.
