Books every 11 year old (give or take a couple years) should read. Not only do I agree with this list I wish I owned all the books with their cool old hardback covers.
Britain, that most bookish of countries, has seen some heated debate this year about how many books children should be reading. Education Secretary Michael Gove believes an 11-year-old should read 50 books a year.
Some folks agreed, others said it was too many, some people said the number did not matter as long as kids read and others said this statement made no sense while many of Britain’s public libraries are being threatened with closure.

I loved this book so much, as a child. I still remember the description of them drugging the pheasants, and of his bath time ritual. I read everything by Dahl.
Nice work. I came across your blog while “blog surfing” using the Next Blog button on the blue Nav Bar located at the top of my blogger.com site. I frequently just travel around looking for other blogs which exist on the Internet, and the various, creative ways in which people express themselves. Thanks for sharing.
LOVE THAT BOOK.
