Books

We are a family of readers.  This summer we've had plenty of time to enjoy a few
good books. I thought I'd share some of the kids favorites, in case you've got some
kids who also love to read.

Trevor -  Just read the first two books in The Archer Legacy, by Richard Newsome
He loved them, and can't wait for book three to come out next spring.  Lots of action,
many different countries, and tons of adventure. 


Griffin - Is currently reading book five of the Artimis Fowl books, by Eoin Colfer.
He  is addictited to theses books.  Each book is over three hundred pages. 
He gets on new one on Tuesday (our library day), and by the next week he is ready
for a new one.   Lots of action and adventure, and magical creatures.


Savannah-  Is starting to really enjoy reading.  Her favorites seems to be
Dr. Suess books.  More than anything she enjoys being read to.  We've
recently started to enjoy  Francis books, by Russell Hoban
Our favorite so far is Bread and jam for Frances.  It reminds me of savannah's
picky eating.  Savannah thought the story was funny.


I've been reading to the kids as well.  The first book we read this
 summer was The Candymakers, by Wendy Mass this was such a fun book!
  We all love candy, so this was perfect for us.  It was filled with mystery too, some
 nights the chapter  would end, and the kids would beg to read more just to find out what
happened next.

I am currently reading Aliens on Vacation, by Clete Smith to the kids. 
 So far, it is intresting  It seems (after only four chapters) a little slower than other
 stories  we've read.  Hopefully the story gets better as we go on.
