My dd 11 loves books on CD. Some of her favorites have been the Harry Potter series, The Lord of the Rings series (including The Hobbit), Magic Tree House, The Chronicles of Narnia, The Twilight series, The Warriors, right now she is reading the Supernatural books, loves goosebumps and those sort of stories.

My kids don't do the books on CD but my dd(8) is about half way through book 7 of Harry Potter and LOVES LOVES LOVES it!

My DS6 1st grade likes the read the magic tree house books. He has to still read them to me so I can help him with some words but he likes them.

Dd(8) is on book 5 (reading, not listening) of Harry Potter and absolutely loves it. She also loves the Judy Blume 'Fudge' series.

I agree with Harry Potters on cd--they're great. I just finished reading The Lightning Thief(from the Percy Jackson series) with a 7th grade class--they loved it---got mad on days when we couldn't read it. I think Dragon Rider is also by the author of the Eragon series, but I could be wrong.....the Warriors series by Erin Hunter is very popular at our middle schoold(6-8 grades).....Diary of a Wimpy Kid as well......I've seen others mention the Twilight series but I really woulnd't at his age. It's a teenage love story/saga among vampires/werewolves/humans.....JMHO but I wouldn't get it for my 8 1/2 year old for a while

I've also got kids taking home a book called Football Genius and reading it very quickly and loving it......I'll try and think of more and add later.....

can you tell I'm a librarian.......

My DD enjoys Junie B Jones. I think she is the new Ramona Quimby! We are starting American Girl books. I think they are wonderful. My DD 13 loves the Twilight series. Im thinking of reading them myself. She also read a book "Iam David". Then we saw the movie it was wonderful!
