I will try again. I like Eliot, but not always at first. Silas Marner was great by the time I was done, and the same with Middlemarch. I also have Invitation to the Classics, but often forget to read it.

My daughter prefers books with action at this stage & Johnny Tremain would be her preference too. We haven't read The Magic Pudding yet - shame on me, but we'll get to it one of these days.

YOU and Linda, and Karen KY are killing me!<br />I want to read Adam Bede, and Silas Mariner, and Sense and Sensibility... and a 100 other titles! sigh.<br /><br />Good tip on this title instead of Middle March for my girlies, should they be interested later in life! <br /><br />I'm fascinated reading Daddy Longlegs to them, and they happened not to be as thrilled with it as with Johnny Tremain, our family read aloud? (What happened to them?), they have not watched the movie, and it comes to me a bit in flash backs as I read, and they are true American girls who also LOVE history. Not in vain Tremain is a Newberry book!<br /><br />But I have to tell you that my youngest (8yo) and I were re reading The Magic Pudding. It is seriously one of my favorite books. Simply perfect.
