Read, Read, Read

Our young readers are keeping us busy making more trips to the library. Two weeks ago I reported that I'd collected from the library the last eight books in the Dragon Slayers' Academy series and the first few books in the Secrets of Droon series. Bentley and Jake have finished the DSA books and Viva has read through book 13. The boys prefer to read one series at a time, but Viva is reading at least three different series. She likes variety. She's read at least the first four Droon books.

After finishing the DSA series Bentley started the Droon series. Like the DSA books, the Droon books are 100-130 pages of large font print. They are a nice length for young readers. B quickly powered through the first ten and opa had to stop at the library for another nine in the series. He gobbled those right down and we sent opa back for another fourteen. We currently have books 2 through 29 and Super Editions 1 through 4 in the Droon series on loan from the library.

Jake has just started the Droon series. I think he rated the first book 4 stars whereas the DSA books were 5 stars. It's hard to top a book with dragons in it. Bentley and Viva tend to give all their reads 5 stars. They don't like to discriminate. (B, J, & V keep a list of the books they've read at GoodReads.com.)

Being ill has given the trio some extra reading time. When you have sick, cranky children, it's nice to be able to send them to bed with a book.
