G.P.'s Bedtime Reading List

J.K. Rowling: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
It was weird to be reading this and "Deathly Hallows" at the same time, and to see the same characters and the plot devices Rowling planted all those years ago....
J.K. Rowling: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
The movies pale in comparison, and the book holds up well to a re-reading, I'm finding.
J.R.R. Tolkein: The Hobbit
He's ready. And he's enthralled.
Kathryn N. Lasky: The Capture (Guardians of Ga'Hoole) Book 1
The story of Soren the barn owl. So far, it is a concentration camp story for children - perhaps it improves. Well, G.P. loved it, although it creeped me out. They do get away, and I'm sure in the next nine or thirty books the rest of the story will be told.........
Brian Jacques: Mossflower
The prequel to "Redwall" - how the brave woodlanders defeat the evil fox Tsarmina and come to build Redwall Abbey.
Brian Jacques: Redwall
The adventures of the brave mice of Redwall Abbey
Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson: Peter and the Shadow Thieves
More adventures of Peter Pan
Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson: Peter and the Starcatchers
Ever wonder how he actually became Peter Pan?
