Dealing with Dragons

It makes me so happy that people have read Dealing with Dragons. I read that book when I was in 4th grade, and I have frequently credited it with my becoming the fantasy geek I am today. Before that, I read mainstream kid stuff, like Babysitters Club and Boxcar Children and Little House books. Within a year of reading Wrede, I had read Piers Anthony, David Eddings, Terry Brooks, Tolkien, Robert Jordan, and more...yeah...anyway, I have lots of work to do, but it makes me happy.

As an aside, when I was in L533, Library Materials for Children and Young Adults, 4 different people did their book talks on Dealing with Dragons. ^^ I forget what I did for mine...other than The Dreaming Place...

How...odd. I wouldn't have thought of that...that said, they are GREAT books for kids. :)

There were alot of fantasy buffs in that class, and I'm thinking that the books were recently re-released or something, and therefore showing up on alot of people's radars.
