Just wanted you to know that our family listens to audiobooks daily on our 20 commute each way to school. Our favorite so far is Ella Enchanted. It's awesome on tape! One girl does all of the character's voices.

Thanks you for a great website!

Agatha Christie is a GOOD mystery writer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Annne Of Green Gabels books are just great and make me cry and laugh and also make the series of books to anyone, mainly between the age of 11-16. I have also seen the videos which are great and will not be a disapointment because the characters all fit the descriptions in the story. I have also seen the video "The Cotinuing Story" when Anne returns to the Island after 5 years of teaching. These are great for the whole family to watch. Personally I think the books are better because there is "More scope for the imagination" Anne of Green Gabels is the best book I have ever read!!!!!!!

I have read the Jacqueline Wilson books, and I think they are really interesting and they draw the reader in! I especially enjoyed The Suitcase Kid, as it was a subject I could identify with.

I am recommending the Left Behind series. You should try reading them. If you do start from book one or the other books in the series won't make sense. The first one is boring at first just because the author had to explain things but the rest of the book and series is GREAT!! It is about the Rapture and how 4 kids have to survive. I have read up to book 10. So far it was awsome. Try reading them sometime. Trust me you'll like it!

I just read Lily's Crossing. It's a great book. I recommend it to everyone.

I like to read HarryPotter Books, Avalon, Magic Tree House, Baily School Kids,

Amrican Girl seairs, Royal Dairis.

I'm in sixth and I like to read Harry Potter books. Joanne Kathleen Rowing (J. K. Rowing) is my Favorite author. I like how she tells how the characters are.

* * * * *

My Great Read is Harry Potter and the goblet of Fire because it's the most adventurous. Harry's getting older - he's not the same age of us anymore! It's still good and if you haven't read it, don't read on - it will spoil it for you.

My fave character is Harry - He's the young fellow star of the book.

Why is Harry my fave: He's adventurous - although it's very sad when Cedric dies in it.

My least favourite character: Snape. He is a real meanie!

Why Professor Snape is my least fave character: He's mean to Harry, always giving Malfoy a nice fat chance. I love Tom Felton (The character that plays Draco Malfoy), though!

My fave part: I like all of the book, so it's very hard.

Why: It's really a good book with each part that is great!

A sad part: When Cedric dies.

Why is it sad when Cedric dies: Harry and him have been helping each other out. It's a shame that he dies. It's quite quick, too.

Fave teacher in the book: Hmmmmmmm. All time fave, Dumbledore!

Why is Professor Dumbledore my fave teacher: He's the one that, practically, worship's Harry Potter!

You should read it too.

Enjoy!

I love the Princess Diaries series! the person who wrote the letter about them last week is so right. They relate to a lot of things girls go through and all girls should read them.

  • Nancy Drew series
  • Ella Enchanted
  • Lois Duncan books
  • RL Stine books
  • Harry Potter 1,2,3,4
  • The Summer of my German Soldier
  • Heidi
  • The Wheel on the School

There is many more but i don't want to waste your time! :)

I am reading a great book called Acquaintance with darkness. It is written by Ann Rinaldi. It is about a 14 year old girl named Emily whois living in teh tragic time of when Abraham Lincoln was present. Also, her father fought in the war and was killed and her mother is dying slowly. Worst of all, her uncle valentine is involved in shady business and is even suspected of being an accomplice of John Wilkes booth. If u read ths book there's a surprise at every turn. Please consider putting this in a review. It is also for ages 12 and up for historic mystery.
