If you do get a chance, read them. I really think you'll love them. I love that the younger generation have all these great books to read and I love hearing even more that their parents are reading with them and are open to discussing them. Miss Beautiful and I are still pretty much stuck on The Poky Little Puppy, and let me tell ya, I have a whole post I could do on THAT one LOL. However, Bear (who will be 9 soon) and the entire family have been reading The Underland Chronicles this summer and it has really opened up some great conversations at our house. I just love these books that capture the young mind SO MUCH!<BR/><BR/>Lisa,<BR/><BR/>Isn't Violet wonderful? She's just so wonderfully written. And yes, the book reference had me laughing through my heart ache with her. Melissa Walker is one seriously talented author! <BR/><BR/>Thanks to you both for stopping by!ChariDeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18121306055697164244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7251204423061226168.post-33185847588629996872008-08-15T11:43:00.000-05:002008-08-15T11:43:00.000-05:00I adore Violet.

I haven't read the series, yet but my daughter has shared some of the story line and character development with me and we've had some really great discussions. <BR/><BR/>I couldn't agree with you more about how many wonderful YA novels are on the shelves today. Novels that address tough issues facing today's young adults, yet deliver wholesome messages to our impressionable and highly intelligent young adults. <BR/><BR/>Take care! :)Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420773211895134710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7251204423061226168.post-92147554943731684932008-08-14T11:39:00.000-05:002008-08-14T11:39:00.000-05:00Hi Brandy!

The growth of this character is fabulous.<BR/><BR/>I will suggest you read them first, or even at the same time, so that you can discuss some things with her. I have no doubt there will be questions, but I think the books could open up a huge window of opportunity for some good girl talkage with the younger crowd!ChariDeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18121306055697164244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7251204423061226168.post-68286318365242331932008-08-13T16:36:00.000-05:002008-08-13T16:36:00.000-05:00Is this appropriate for a 13 year old?

If you like YA have you read Rosemary Wells? <BR/>Thanks for the review!Brandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02738504696243512495noreply@blogger.com
