The Edward Eager books sound like something that might be up her alley. <BR/><BR/>Milady, you don't sound the least bit insane.;) I love people who agree with me. I have The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time on my own list.

When there's a new one of these, she won't stop reading for anything until it's finished. If we're going somewhere, she even reads as we walk to the car! She also loved <I>Inkheart.</I> She's very into Manga, which might be a good starting point for your niece. Yes, it's mostly pictures but it's reading too, and if your niece enjoys anime (Jennette Marie Powellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00992037939637425401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17229339.post-1151040935384521792006-06-23T00:35:00.000-05:002006-06-23T00:35:00.000-05:00What a great goal for your summer!!

After a few pages, I would have to leave the room for a few minutes. By the time I came back, he was usually reading on his own to see what would happen next. It was also a great way for us to bond and we read through most Tessa McDermidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03370248836658261192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17229339.post-1151007474586820092006-06-22T15:17:00.000-05:002006-06-22T15:17:00.000-05:00Maybe you could read to her?

If there are any books geared to her age that you've wanted to read that would be a great excuse. Or read her your favorites from when you were her age. <BR/><BR/>At her age, I loved the magic books by Edward Eager. There's Encyclopedia Brown.
