Pardon me, do you have a frindle?
I’ve got a new favorite book. Or book among my favorites.
I read as much as I can… I’d read more if I didn’t have things like a job and kids. You can see what I’ve read lately in my I’m Reading page. I try to read as many of the books that Griff reads as possible, so we can discuss them and so I can have a good idea of what he’s thinking and absorbing.
I was putting all of the Sunshine State Books on my BookMooch list when I came across a book that I had seriously considered for Griff last Christmas. So I dropped it on my Wishlist, and it arrived in the mail today. I read it in less time than it took Griff to watch a “Mythbusters” rerun.
And it’s one of my new favorite books. I may have all the kids I know read it. I’ll give it as gifts, I’m sure. And I think everyone - whether you have a kid or not - should go check this book out of your local library, order it from BookMooch or Amazon, or both.
Go, Frindle!

Well, then I have no choice but to go out and buy a copy to read with my 5 year old son.
Some of it may be a little old for a 5-year-old, but if you’re reading it to him, you’ll be able to explain anything that he doesn’t get. And it’s fabulous! My husband read it last night.
Thanks for the recommendation. We’re always looking for new book ideas around here. Have a great weekend!
I swear, best book I’ve read in ages. I was SO impressed. I’m going to get all of Andrew Clements’ books at this point. A super plot, well-written. Wonderful.
The Girl has been begging me to buy this book. Little does she know I already have it purchased and ready for the trip east!
It was really super. It’ll be under several Christmas trees courtesy of me.
