The Golden Compass

            Again, wow.
I haven't seen the movie yet, but if you have, can you comment me on how it was? Now let's get to the point. So, the book was yet again as though I was helping the character. At first, I was a bit confused by all the stuff about daemons, but I eventually caught on. I loved this book so much I could barley put it down. I recommend this book  for 4th & 5th graders.

The Indispensable Calvin and Hobbes

            Wow.
Now I know why this book is called the Indispensable Calvin and Hobbes. They, especially Calvin are really are indispensable. Well, for people who haven't read this yet, I don't want to spoil too much, so I'll just say that this book is absolutely hilarious, with Calvin running around as Stupendous Man, imagining Spaceman Spiff, and inventing, all while at school or with Hobbes, his usually faithful stuffed tiger, at his side. I'll say that this book is a good read for 3rd -6th graders.

Secrets of Droon series

Okay.  Fine.
I admit it.
I haven't read the entire 30-something books yet
( but I only started about a month ago).
But I have read 27 and half! Now let's get to the point. So, I love this series. As you read it, you're no longer reading. You're there, seeing it happen. No, you're not watching. You are helping the characters you like.
Between 1& 10, these books deserve a 9.
I suggest this series for elementary readers.
