[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids read the series but I haven’t, but I will say that modern literature for kids is a huge step down in quality from what I read when I was their age. It’s really disappointing. Apparently back in the day the folks writing the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys series for kids would intentionally put in higher-level vocabulary so that kids would go look up up those words and expand what they knew. I’m doubtful anyone does that now. [/quote] I’m reading The Egypt Game and it’s great. I love reading children’s chapter books as an adult (Harry Potter series, EB White, The Giver, even fairly juvenile books like The Fudge Hatcher and Beezus/Ramona series). I wonder if there are similar quality books that have been published within the last 10-20 years that posters would recommend? [/quote]
