Feeling Overwhelmed Providing My 7 Year Old With Books

[Kerileanne99]

Oh, so many memories here! What a great thread...we have an ongoing list of books to keep an eye out for great deals, and everyone's ideas have greatly helped! Almost all of my favorites have been listed, with few exceptions. Here is a mix of others and new lit I have read to give as gifts for family

Others...
The Encylopedia Brown books...a bit easier, but fun nevertheless...
The Hardy Boys mysteries- SO not just for boys, and occasional guest appearances by Nancy Drew and gang are special treats!
The Lemony Snicket Series of unfortunate events series
The Happy Hollisters
The Rick Riordan books, new, but with ice references to mythology will not be above her--I always read any newer 'literature' prior to purchasing it for niece and nephews! Two separate series. start with Percy Jackson and the Olympians
The Inheritance series, Eragon and on,are not far off at all! By Christopher Paolini
The Indian in the cupboard and series (5?) were also a lot of fun by Lynn Reid Banks

I read the Percy Jackson series with my kids and we loved them.  My kids read the other series without me and they really like that too. 

I was thinking last night, as we were trying to decide what movie to watch as a family, that there are so few movies that I want to see, but an unlimited number of books that I want to read.  I commented on this to my daughter as we cleaned the kitchen preparing for our movie.  If I had it my way, we would skip the movies and read as a family.  I haven't gotten my hubby to agree on that yet. So many books, so little time.  I have come to accept that I will not be able to read all the books I would like to in my lifetime.

Thanks for all the great responses. I was able to pick up a bunch of used Babysitters Club books and they're a big hit. Trixie Belden is also working out. I'll look into the other suggestions. Hopefully, these will be enough to keep her busy for a while.
