Despite what you may think, boys, Diary of a Wimpy Kid is NOT the only good book on the shelves. If you're having trouble finding your next great pageturner, you might want to explore a couple of fun websites with book suggestions. Bestselling adult and kid author James Patterson - this guy has sold millions of books! - started READKIDDOREAD, which lists tons of books by age level and genre, making it easy to find the ones you'll like best. Then there's our old buddy Jon Scieszka, author of Stinky Cheese Man and Knucklehead (current Battle of the Books selection) among others. His Guys Read website just got a facelift and is better than ever. So turn off the Playstation one afternoon, and turn on the computer to explore http://readkiddoread.com/ and http://www.guysread.com/. Let me know what's next for you! And be sure to tell your friends what you're reading; word of mouth is the best way to get ideas. TALK, TALK, TALK about books.
