I hope you like the books.<br><br>Miss Peaceful Reader, I LOVE it when my mom reads aloud to me, so I think that's a good way to get kids interested. If they heard the first chapter, maybe they would want to check the books out. I was hooked from the first chapter.mouseprintshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17888781593685307870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4065449396547182737.post-10109295629312125332011-06-25T12:39:42.533-05:002011-06-25T12:39:42.533-05:00I have this series in my library and cannot get st...I have this series in my library and cannot get students interested in them. I've read some of McCall's adult fiction so I know he is a good writer. I think this year I will have to do a read-aloud to garner more interest. I have his Akimbo series also.<br><br>Thanks for bringing these books back to my attention!Peaceful Readerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10265198438524420667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4065449396547182737.post-36234375666614024342011-06-24T14:14:17.239-05:002011-06-24T14:14:17.239-05:00I had not heard of these books before!

I asked my mom to check on the library site, but she says they only have the books.<br><br>Miss Amy, I haven't heard of those but I'll see if our library has them. Mom says now I should read the Akimbo books that he writes. She thinks I will like them, but I don't know if I want to read about boy adventures. She says adventure is fun to read about whether it happens to a boy or girl, but I think boys are boring and irritating.mouseprintshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17888781593685307870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4065449396547182737.post-7333078640127387162011-06-21T20:58:11.861-05:002011-06-21T20:58:11.861-05:00Wonderful review, Olivia!
