The Young Merlin Trilogy and Books Completed 2/7/11

Marcus recently finished the first book in Jane Yolen's The Young Merlin Trilogy called Passager (76 pages).  He is now reading the second book and very much enjoys them.  He said he liked the books because they were "adventurous and mysterious."

Another series that the kids are really enjoying are The Dragons of Wayward Crescent by Chris d'Lacey.

They have both read Gruffen (112 pages) and Glade (96 pages), and Marcus recently read Gauge (112 pages) and Grabber (96 pages).

Finally, Marcus and Lella finished Voyage of the Dawn Treader (248 pages), C.S. Lewis.  Again, they are reading the Narnia series aloud with Steve and get so excited when nighttime rolls around and they are able to lay on the couch and read with Daddy.  Fun.

Gabriella recently finished:
The Apple and the Arrow, The Legend of William Tell (80 pages), Mary and Conrad Buff
The Best-Loved Doll, Rebecca Caudill
***Chandra - she received this for Christmas and has read it through multiple times already.  She loves it as much as Anastasia.
