Here's one for ya. I have such a reading obsession that the last job I had, ya the one that I lost because of this damn illness, was at Chapter's, the largest bookstore chain in Canada. How's that for a reading obsession......
> > renee--the missing piece and the missing piece meets the big O are 2 of my favorites. i used to work with juvenile delinquents (teens) who did their best to wear a tough facade, but i'd read them these stories and they would always ask for them again.

They would moan and groan when I would announce that I was going to read aloud both of the Missing Piece books. (They look like thick novels!) When they realized how fun they are(and short!) then they really loved them. There's nothing more satisfying to me than bringing reluctant readers and fantastic books together.
