Books on Tape

Hi Folks,
I have been driving around this week a lot, so I checked some books on tape out of the library. Today I listened to a book called Surviving Brick Johnson by Laurie Myers. It was a good easy chapter book about a boy named Alex who has to figure out what to do after he insults the biggest boy in the 5th grade--should he learn karate? get into detention so teachers will protect him? The answer turned out to be a surprise--but very sensible.

Next I started listening to a book called The Enchanted Castle by E. Nesbit. E. Nesbit wrote this book in 1907, and 100 years later it still is great. Three English children who go to boarding school find out they cannot go home for summer vacation because their cousin is sick and they might catch her illness. They stay at school, and of course, they stumble upon magic. So far it is really good.

Do you ever listen to books on tape or CD? I mostly listen to them when I drive, but my son listens to them when he is in bed at night.

Let me know your favorites!

Your library pal,
Ms. Paradis
