If you're looking for a good book for the kids that won't make their eyes glaze over, you can't do better than to hear the genuine opinions of their peers.

The selected literature runs the gamut from the milder tales...:

"Falling Up, Silverstein, Shel, It is a collection of fun poems that will brighten up your day. I recommend this book for all ages. If you read Shel Silverstein you would enjoy this book. - Erin D. gr 7"

...to the more kick-butt variety:

"The Wish List Eoin Colfer  [...] Meanwhile, Satan is looking for a creative sinner and has sent her partner in crime as an undead half-man, half-dog combination to lure her to evil. You would like this if you read The Artemis Fowl series. Sam D Grade 6"
