children and the things that interest them. (Ages 6 to 12)
• Mrs. Frisby & Rats of NIMH by Robert C. O’Brien. These incredibly creative rodents tell of their escape from a research program, all while they are helping a mother move with her children. (Ages 6 to 10)
• Midnight for Charlie Bone by Jenny Nimmo. Alas, we missed much of this story line, since the girls read it aloud without us, but they say the magical story makes for interesting reading. (Ages 7 to 10)
• Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J. K. Rowling, Mary GrandPre (Illustrator). Even though Harry Potter is insanely popular and the book is hundreds and hundreds of pages long, it’s a great read-aloud book. The children were drawn in by the media hype about Potter, but the story kept them enthralled. (Ages 8 to 14)
• The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas. The classic story is even better in print than in the multiple movie variations. (Ages 10 to adult)
• The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien. With all of the Academy Awards the Lord of the Rings received, youth interest in the prequel should be higher than ever. (Ages 10 to adult)
