[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Louis Sachar, anyone? I loved the Sideways Stories from Wayside School books and Holes. Laugh out loud funny! [/quote] My DD was stuck on the fairy books, which were great, and some other easy chapter books, but she wasn’t inclined to try more complex material. We read a lot to her, but she wouldn’t branch out. Then her teacher had her read Holes and her literary universe shifted. She suddenly realized that books with more depth could be gratifying in ways her other reading wasn’t. She became eager to try all sorts of books. The Wayside School series, while generally on the lighter side, was much loved by both my kids. We even enjoyed the book of math puzzles. Louis Sachar is definitely a new favorite. [/quote]
