I read a lot of middle grade books this summer with my 9year old. which, by august, had really put me off reading. there were lots that he truly loved, but left me wondering why... I think it just boiled down to not being the target audience.
i'll have to re-grab Wildwood, Nikki. I had that series on the burner for most of the summer but ended up re-shelving them after what felt like ODing on middle grade genre.
I also started Armada... but my tolerance was pretty low and just stopped. so disappointing as I liked RPO. I don't think i'll pick it back up after what you've all said.

I grabbed these last week to try and jump start my reading for fall. they did just the trick and were pretty enjoyable. after 6 weeks of surviving middlegradetopia these proved to be a wonderful little oasis... 4 stars [although, normally I might have went with 3]
just finished this one and really enjoyed it! 4 stars ... the writing is so good!
