The sequel of The Penderwicks, in my opinion, is just as good. <BR/><BR/>I have already started Huck Finn, and I think I like it. I like how MArk Twain wrote in the accent, but that makes it a little hard to understand at times...<BR/>Happy New Year!Nicole https://www.blogger.com/profile/15800258743179905990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5181060194091514686.post-32104297221723645182008-12-31T23:50:00.000-06:002008-12-31T23:50:00.000-06:00I have The Princess Bride on my bookshelf and need...I have The Princess Bride on my bookshelf and need to read it. I really enjoyed The Penderwicks, need to read the sequel.<BR/><BR/>You've got a great 2009 list already I loved P&P and S&S and really enjoyed The Little White Horse and Princess Academy. It's been years since I read Huck Finn, so I need to re-read that. The others I've not heard of... so I'll have to check them out.
