I found these posts on Twitter today, thought I would pass them on to you. Jerah, a 10 year old girl, picked 2 lists of favorite books, and included the summaries from Amazon.com in her lists.

Take a look and see if any are interesting to you! I mean, really, can you have too many good books to read? I didn’t think so!

Jerah’s first list - Includes classics like Heidi, Where the Red Fern Grows, and Peter Pan

Jerah’s second list – Includes Misty of Chincoteague and several biographies of outstanding women
