What a wonderful set of responses! Some excellent ideas here. I am a bit out of touch with what's around these days, so the suggestions are really helpful. Some I had forgotten about, others I had never heard of.
I have never criticised her choice of books, as that's the wrong attitude, but I just wanted to suggest nicely, 'here is a book you might enjoy,'. I was a EB fan as a child and we all grow out of it, but she does deserve credit for getting kids to read.
I was always reading as we didn't have all the distractions that are around nowadays, TV, Internet, social media etc.
Thanks again for all these recommendations. Appreciated ?
