My 15-year old son, Jamie, was sick this weekend, so he read non-stop for days. Lots of great books this week:
- I read The Mystery of the Third Lucretia by Susan Runholt, a suspenseful mystery about two girls who stumble upon an international art crime. I loved it and will post a review later this week.
- Jamie read Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins (he finally got his turn!), Sent, Book 2 of The Missing series, by Margaret Peterson (I'm next for that one), and Fablehaven: Grip of the Shadow Plague, Book 3 of the Fablehaven series by Brandon Mull, one of Jamie's favorite fantasy series. Now, he's starting on The Time Quake, the third and final book of Linda Buckley-Archer's The Gideon Trilogy.
- 11-year old Craig finished Bruce Coville's Song of the Wanderer and started Charlie Bone and the Shadow, book 7 in his favorite series by Jenny Nimmo. I hope to post Craig's summary of Song of the Wanderer later this week.

Those are a lot of books. I hope your son is feeling better, Mine is here: http://rundpinne.blogspot.com/2009/10/what-are-you-reading-monday_12.html
Sounds like a lot of great reading. I hope this week is as good (without the sickness).
Catching Fire was such a great read! I think it's great that you combine your families reading into your post -- I should try to do that more too although my two are still pretty young. Alex is just getting into chapter books :-)
