Eragon & Eldest by Christopher Paolini (a former homeschooler!)
I have read these books at least a dozen times. Eragon has a movie
out. I liked it too.

The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis
A book you can read numerous times and get more and more out of it
each time.
Our opinion is the books are much better than the movies that are out.

Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens
I really liked this book, I found it fascinating.
Bev says: There are many plays and movies out there to choose
from HOWEVER, Nicholas and I went to see August Rush and mid
way through it Nicholas made the comparison that it was a modern
day Oliver Twist and I totally agree! August Rush is one of the best
movies made in a very long time. Don't let it pass you by.

A Journey To The Center Of The Earth by Jules Verne
This was a good book. There's a movie on tv every now and then
that's an okay one to watch. The book is much better. We're going to
wait for the new movie to come out on DVD before we see it.

| Nicholas, age 11, and I are avid readers! We also LOVE watching movies. However, we have a rule in our house, Read The Book First. Nicholas has read all the books listed below and wanted to share his opinion. |
