Have you (or your child) read the Mysterious Benedict Society books (Amazon link to an amazing price for all three!)? I read and enjoyed the first two books with Rebecca, and she read the last one on her own.
Last week, I brought home a surprise from work for Rebecca. One of the benefits of working in the book industry is that I have access to advance reading copies, books the publishers send out to generate buzz and interest months before the book is actually published. Sometimes they even have typos, or incomplete illustrations.
But do you see that? Rebecca is thrilled to be reading something four months before anyone else will even have access to it. She even showed her teacher. And now I'm definitely the coolest mom ever. In Rebecca's book, at least.
Quite envious here :)

That is cool! I read the first one and liked it, need to catch up on the rest of the series - I like to read books that my kids do so we have something to discuss.

Wow! She is so super lucky and Ethan is very jealous. Thanks for letting us know though. We have it on the list and can't wait to read it.
