Hazel Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 My most read teen book is probably Forever by Judy Blume, or Then Again Maybe I Won't. Children's book - probably the illustrated The Spider and the Fly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billybob Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 'Inkheart' and 'Inkspell' by Cornelia Funke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Spook Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 I think that would have to be Fire and Hemlock by Diana Wynne Jones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flingo Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Oh - I wouldn't know where to start for just one! I struggle to restrict myself to my top 10 children's authors, without having to narrow it down to one title though! This thread will give you some ideas of the children's authors enjoyed by BGO members, offscott, and might give you some ideas of other people to try too!

elliejcox Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 I'm going to agree with Lost Sppok on this, Fire and Hemlock is the most amazing book ever! Every time I read it I spot something new! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Spook Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Oh, brilliant! It is, isn't it? I've read it I don't know how many times & only recently read an internet article about the key to it being a T S Eliot poem that opened up new ways of looking at it...

Lost Spook Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Have you read the Ballad that is talked about in it? What is your take on the ending? I think this needs to be its own thread - if we get into the ending of Fire and Hemlock, we'll be here all year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Dexter Ward Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 I think mine is Robert Swindells "Time Snatch" or it could be "Skellig" by David Almond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazel Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 I think mine is Robert Swindells "Time Snatch" His Stone Cold is an excellent read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solace91z Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Green Eggs and Ham was a childhood favourite of mine, and I've recently started reading it to my little lad as well. As a teen, I loved The Catcher in the Rye, though it's been some years since I last read it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NL-Daemon Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Has anyone here read a book called shadowmancer by GP Taylor, it's quite hard to get into but then you really start to enjoy it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Welcome to BGO, NL-Daemon. Feel free to drop by the Please Introduce Yourself thread and tell us a little about yourself and what you enjoy reading. I don't think there's a thread on Shadowmancer so why not start one in Read On and tell us more about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
