some of the books that helped my transition from kiddie books to full fleged novels was the junior fiction of the likes of Heinlen and Christopher Pike. I highly suggest them to anyone with late elementry school aged kids. or younger. :-)

I still remeber sititng in my parents bedroom on the couch reading Christopher pike (teenage dramas and a few horror) while my mom read her big novels. :-) Good memories.


(Just don't tell them you love to read it too at your age. I will then become uncool. :-P )


I lliked the 5th harry potter. But my favorite is still the 4th book. Hopefully the 5th book still deals alot with hogwarts school. Those are my favorite parts when she describes the school and classes itself. :-)
