You'll love this one...!! A book club & more discussion

This is where you will report the children's or YA book that you read for September's monthly challenge. Remember that the main character in your book must be 16 or younger.

Reporting:

- WOF name
- What you chose to read
- Why did you choose to read it?
- What rough age group do you think it is for? This is obviously subjective, but gives us an idea.
- What did you think of it? Not just I liked it, give us a few sentences so we know what it’s about/what happens in case we want to recommend it on too.
- Would you recommend it to a smaller someone in your orbit?

I decided on reading The Book of Three by Lloyd Alexander. I chose it because it has been on my TBR for well forever and has such great reviews. I think that the age group is 7th - 10th grade or 13 - 16. I came to that conclusion because the MC does like the lead girl, but there isn't any hanky panky or kissy face stuff - just banter that you know will develop into something when they are older.

I really liked this book and put this series down as one that I will continue. You can see the influence of Tolkien with the band of misfit characters who are on a quest (and you can also see where JK Rowling may have borrowed a character - I'm looking at you Dobby). I would definitely recommend this to one of my smaller people, but may I suggest that this would be a great one to read aloud together.

I read Ella Enchanted. It has been on my shelf for many moons and this was the perfect time. It was a retelling of Cinderella with a lot of girl power themes. I think it’s meant for 8-12 ish year olds.

I enjoyed the whimsicalness of the story. I listened to the audiobook and think I would have liked the written version a tad better.

I would recommend it for sure and then probably stand over their shoulder asking them where they are and what do they think? Maybe even have them read it aloud to me.
