- I finished Everwild, the sequel to Everlost (review) by Neil Shusterman, an exciting and creative story about kids trapped in the limbo-world between life and death. The second book was even better than the first - I can't wait for #3!
- Jamie, 15, is still reading Sabriel by Garth Nix. He says it's very good - just the kind of fantasy novel he loves.
- Craig, 12, is reading Nick of Time by Ted Bell, a time-travel pirate story. Craig says it's the best book he's ever read!
- My husband, Ken, is still reading Brisingr, the third book of the Eragon trilogy by Christopher Paolini, one of Jamie's all-time favorite series.
- I just started Rose, the prequel to the acclaimed 10-book graphic novel series Bone by Jeff Smith. I have previously read the first two books in the series. Any graphic novel fans out there? This is an excellent, well-written series with amazing illustrations.

How does your husband like Brisingr.
Here is mine
My son absolutely loves Bone. It's basically what turned him from a non-reader into a reader who's devouring everything on my bookshelf. I recently had to pull Flowers in the Attic from his room and hide it the other day (he's almost 10).
I have now put Everwild on my list of ever-growing wish list (my husband just shakes his head when I do that).
I'll be curious to know what your son thinks of Sabriel. I read it years ago with mixed feelings.
Happy reading!
It sounds like all of you enjoyed your books this week! That's great! I hope you enjoy Rose.
I am so in love with the Bone series. I work in a middle school library and these books just do not stay on the shelves!
Have a great reading week!
I was so excited to see Everwild come out! I didn't know there was going to be a sequel! Can't wait to read it.
I didn't know Bone had a prequel! Very cool. I've only read the first Bone book tho. :)
Your books do sound enticing! I haven't read any of them, so I guess I need to check them out.
