These may be better when he’s a bit older but here they are anyway.

A Spy in Williamsburg, which was judged to not be historically accurate, but a story I loved.

The Westing Game – also a mystery and another of my favorites.

And, pant, pant I’ve made it to July!

Thank you for always creating a perfect visual of your emotions. *wink
Ok, so now on to your question … Instead of telling you what my 5th grader IS reading, I’ll tell you what he is NOT reading. BIG NATE & DIARY OF A WIMPY KID (for the 150th time!!) I finally had to remove them from his room and put them into a pile in never-neverland so he can MOVE ON. Jeeeeeez!

I’m thrilled to say that we finished Matilda yesterday and are now on to A Wrinkle in Time. :)

This is such a great idea and the way you approached it was fantastic. You are going to have a houseful of readers on your hands before you realize it!

My oldest and youngest share my love…the two middles, well, time will tell I guess.
What a great idea about the basket…”on his terms”…you are sneaky ;)

Right now, Monkey at 2 1/2 prefers two books – one on the English language, the other on Math.

Am I proud or what??
