Book recommendations?

[threeboysmom]

Ok, my favorites have been....

1) Eragon by Christopher Paolini
2) Eldest by Christopher Paolini
3) Summer of the Monkeys by Wilson Rawls (I loved this one)
4) A Single Shard by Linda Sue Park

Though having boys, I tend to lean towards books more geared to boys, but I have thoroughly enjoyed them as well

I'm copying down all those that seem interesting (pretty much the entire thread) so I can check some out at the library.

If you haven't already read Kingdom Keepers, that's a great book for all ages, (even ancient people like me.)

I was going to recommend this as well - love the book. And it's cool because WDW and VMK are in it!

Angela's ashes. I am currently reading this right now and it really is amazing. It is a memouir or however you spell it about a guy named Frank McCourt. It is how him and his family truggle through tough times in Ireland.

"The Five People You Meet in Heaven" (read during 8th grade)and "Sleeping Freshman Never Lie"(read for Summer Reading) are the best books I have ever read. I think it is really funny how I actually like a book.

i thought i was the only one who read that........... milkabum, the five people you meet in heaven is a really touching story, and i'm the same age as you, so you can trust me (i'd hope).

the best book ever: yes better than harry potter! yes better than the davinci code (i think)! it is:

Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment
and the sequel
Maximum Ride: School's Out Forever

the series is by james patterson, and it's his first kids series (well, young adult)

Cirque Du Freak by Darren Shan is okay if you like that type of thing.......... (vampires and such)

um.......... i like the kingdom keepers (anxiously awaiting the sequel)
