and at age 22, she just read them again. It's one of the authors she
always recommends to parents when they come into the bookstore
looking for books their kids might enjoy.

She has her own bookstore? I have always wanted to have a bookstore...personal dream...all the books I could want at my disposal...
What else does she recommend? We've read Fog Magic, eventually I'll get around to Little Women and Secret Garden. What else would she list for 8-9 year olds that is low on violence...she isn't into scary stuff.
Remember that Twillight Zone with the guy with the glasses... That would be me! Except I sure as heck would find a way to repair them...
Be well,
Rachel Ann

Rachel, Laurie read all of Edward Eager's books when she was young,
and at age 22, she just read them again. It's one of the authors she
always recommends to parents when they come into the bookstore
looking for books their kids might enjoy.
love, Valerie

I'm also very fond of Edward Eager. Half Magic was one of the first
"chapter books" that my son was happy to listen to, after a long period
of disinterest. (He loves the humor and the humorous mishaps.) Yet,
somehow we haven't finished the last chapter in Knights Castle.
We went from Edward Eager to J. K. Rowling and then back to Edward
Eager. Now we are reading Susan Cooper's second Boggart book, The
Boggart and the Monster.

here and is now working at Walden Books. It's her dream to have her
own store though, and we're working on it.
She was obsessed with The Babysitter's Club, anything by Lynne Reid
Banks, Roald Dahl, Laura Ingalls Wilder, When The Dolls Woke -can't
remember author, and any book about Catherine the Great. Laurie just
walked into the room and I asked her what other books she liked at
that age, and she reminded me that she would go into the library or
bookstore and just pick out what looked good, NEVER confining herself
to the children's books. She'd read Time magazine from cover-to-cover
at age 8.
