I have discovered a series of books, that cause a 14 year old boy to turn off the tv and video game console, in order to fully concentrate on the books.

Warriors, by Erin Hunter. A book about wild cats that live in clans, with 3 other clans in the area.

He has been devouring them.

He has been devouring them.

He could prolly get some recipes from beedums.

Oh. You meant devouring the books. gotcha. I'll have to check them out.

Thanks for the recommendation, Saucy.

I've got a few of those in my Science Fiction/Fantasy section at the Friends of the Library booksale.

Isn't it great when this happens? Enjoy it while you can.

Son1111 loves these.

Anything that turns off the TV and turns on the brain is a good thing!

Thanks, Saucy. I'm not familiar with this series. Would they also be suitable for a very bright almost nine-year-old? --Bob

Bob, I tnink they would be most suitable, especially as the hero has trouble fitting in and following rules LOL.

Oh, and if Miss Annie Camero is around, she would be happy to read that these wildcats will deal with evil squirrels. usually washed down with cool spring water.

I shall purchase one and hope that Sparky (as he now wishes to be known) does not aspire to emulate that conduct.

Thanks again. --Bob

We'll check it out Saucy. Your buddy Ryan has become a voracious reader. Books.......big books, last about a day and a half.

Since I knew that The Boy (just for you, Marley) goes to the school library tomorrow, I encouraged him to see if they had one of the Wildcats books. I like the idea that there are so many books in the series. Unfortunately, I do not know if cats will grab his attention, especially in competition with Star Wars.

I'd say yes to the 9-year-old, since my neighbor's son used to have them at the bus stop when he was in 3rd or 4th grade. My kids have zero attention span and prefer collections of short stories, alas. Thank you, Louis Sachar...

I'll add another unsolicited endorsement for this series. MarleysNephew, age 11, says he's in the middle of the second book of this series and asked me to look for the sequels at the upcoming Friends of the Library booksale.

The Pendragon Series is also very good for this age group.

The first series will be part of his ninth birthday present.

Thanks for the suggestion. --Bob
