I think Ida B. has such a great voice - almost like a grown up Junie B. <BR/><BR/>I'm glad that kids are reading, even if they are ignoring gems like Ida B. Sci-fi/fantasy was never my favorite genre, but there are some really fun books being published in the genre. I don't blame kids for flocking to them. I just wish there was a way to broaden their horizons.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05344704891037668456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32315311.post-21587531239050943332008-06-21T08:39:00.000-07:002008-06-21T08:39:00.000-07:00Maybe the story's too old-fashioned for today's ki...Maybe the story's too old-fashioned for today's kids? It does seem like sci-fi/fantasy is where it's at these days. Hopefully, the trends will swing back toward historical fiction - it's one of my favorite genres!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05344704891037668456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32315311.post-2048513696415054622008-06-19T20:07:00.000-07:002008-06-19T20:07:00.000-07:00We had this book at our Scholastic Book Fair last ...We had this book at our Scholastic Book Fair last year- a few teachers put it on their wish lists and I saw a couple parents pick it up, but it didn't get much interest from students, who flocked to books like Eragon and Inkheart.LisaMMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10530087423961700607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32315311.post-91751748473911582092008-06-18T16:23:00.000-07:002008-06-18T16:23:00.000-07:00Back in my library days, I ordered this book and l...Back in my library days, I ordered this book and loved it. I thought the kids would, too, but it was seldom checked out. I never understood why. I guess young readers are on a fantasy train ride lately and finding it hard to get off.Laurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06146380265733614676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32315311.post-63933420266092535262008-06-18T08:05:00.000-07:002008-06-18T08:05:00.000-07:00I loved this book.

No book can really compare to TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD in my mind, but I did really enjoy it!Julie P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16008101127541997459noreply@blogger.com
