Summer Reading List Update

Earlier this week I challenged everyone to help me build a reading list for kids 8-18 this summer. I have had a great response so far. Here is what we have to date:

My input:

1. Eragon (Inheritance, Book 1) - Christopher Paolini; great book for boys ages 10-18
2. Harry Potter Paperback Box Set (Books 1-6) - J.K. Rowland; for boys and girls ages 10+
3. Baseball Boxed Set - Matt Christopher; boys and girls ages 8+

Randa at Lumps of Clay suggests:

1. Anne of Green Gables Series, by L.M. Montgomery - great books for girls of all ages
2. The Chronicles of Narnia, by C.S. Lewis - wonderful for all ages as well
3. Little House on the Prairie Series, by Laura Ingalls Wilder - girls of any age should enjoy these

Katelyn at Free Holiday Ideas recommends:

1. Emily of New Moon by L. M. Montgomery
2. Twilight by Stephanie Meyer
3. 13 Little Blue Envelopes by Maureen Johnson

Lynnae from Under the Clutter likes:

1. The Animal Ark series by Ben M. Baglio. This is a great series for young animal lovers. Ages 8+.
2. The American Girls Collection. Historical fiction for girls. Ages 8+.
3. Young Women of Faith: Lily Series by Nancy Rue. Christian fiction centered around a 6th grade girl named Lily. Ages 8+.

Gayle at Parenting Teens recommends:

1. The Princess Diaries series by Meg Cabot Girls ages 12&up.
2. Lord of the Flies by William Golding Grades 10&up, according to School Library Journal. One of the classics, which most of us have to read at some point in our high school career.
3. The Da Vinci Codeby Dan Brown Adults & older teens.

And Erin recommends the Betsy and Tacy series.

Who else wants to add to this list? Either post your recommendations in the comments, or better yet, post them at your blog and let me know so I can link to you.
