Like Meg Cabot? Wish she wrote a book your 8 year old could read? Here you go!

I listened to this on audio, and I was crying as I was driving. It's really good. I gave it to Andy to read after. Tt's nominated for a Maine Student Book award, and while I wish it would win, I think that Diary of a Wimpy Kid is going to end up the champion. I'm not sure I will ever look at cows the same way again.

Do you need something for your fans of The Lightning Thief? Here you go. To me, it has the writing style of Lemony Snicket and Kate DiCamillo's The Tale of Despereaux, but with the same Greek mythology aspect as the Lightning Thief. I enjoyed it, and look forward to reading book 2.

Deanna recommended this on audio to me. IT WAS AWESOME.

Although it did make me talk in really weird ways for a while. Unit...
