re: #23 A Mom Anon
This was the first series of books my son read on his own. Before that, I had read him the entire Harry Potter series every night over about 3 years. That and the Artemis Fowl books were things he read many times over.
Among other books I read to my kids, I read the Hobbit + LOTR to my oldest, His Dark Materials to the middle one, and all of the Hitchhikers books to my youngest.
