Chums:
This discussion is doing bad and evil things to my schedule. I'll never catch up with my work. HOWEVER,
the following books did not change my life but forced a change in friends. When I was VERY young (1st grade??,maybe 2nd), all my friends were blasting off with enormous enthusiasm about the
"Bobbsey" (sp?) books. So--I borrowed one, read it, and changed friends.
However, Nancy Drew and the Dana Girls, etc., and Cherry Aimless, etc., etc., while not "life-changing" certainly helped me red faster and faster--and faster. No Evelyn Woods was needed--chums
Big Grandma
who wept copiously over Jane Eyre at about age 10. (Anyone remember those blue buckram bound classics that the libraries held?)
