Here is a good way to start a Monday. I have recently been acquiring some childhood books that I thought I would never find again. But thanks to the power of the web, I have located them and found that I really still enjoy the stories. I am even contemplating buying some other series from the authors. Now these are old, and written for middle school aged children, but awesome none-the-less.

Invitation to the Game
This was the first one I wanted to find but couldn’t. A very nice librarian online looked up the plot for me and found it. It has a great story line that I think would make an awesome movie someday.
Running Before the Wind
I used portions of this book for my Prose Interpretation competitions in high school. An uplifting story about surviving the tough things in life using things that you love.
What was your favorite book as a kid? I’d would love to hear of more!

I think that the lit available for teens and pre-teens this day and age is INCREDIBLE compared to what we had. Or maybe that’s just my perception? I’m glad that teaching 7th grade LA has introduced me to all the great young adult authors out there right now!
