Escape and Wimpy Kid
And now for something completely different…
This month, my book club is reading Escape by Carolyn Jessop. Interesting story about the Fundamentalist Church of the Latter Day Saints.
My son quickly (i.e., within an hour) read the latest Wimpy Kid book about a boy named Greg Heffley:
Then he moved onto the latest 39 Clues book, this one written by Patrick Carman. So far, my son is often distracted by what he describes as lousy writing. He believes Carman’s prose pales in comparison to Rick Riordan’s, author of the first book in the series (as well as one of his favorite books, The Lightning Thief). The sixth book, called In Too Deep, written by Jude Watson, is due to be released on November 11, 2009.
My daughter is still working her way through the Douglas Adams tome (see below), but she read the Wimpy Kid book (above), too. It’s one of those must-read-because-all-the-kids-will-talk-about-it books.
