Re: Harry Pothead & the something or other
Seven Towers or whatnot by Garth Nix, the one with the kid living in the castle with seven towers and stuff.
A third reccomendation for Philip Pullman. I started reading that in 4th or 5th grade. I've been meaning to reread them. I got through the first two but I've heard that there are sequels, so I want to refresh my memory with the first two then see if the sequels are any good.
Also the Chronicles of Narnia. Actually, I think I've only read two of them. Gotta do that once I finish Philip Pullman, after finishing Terry Goodkind again. I love it. I can read a book, then in several years, only vaguely remember the plot, then read it again. Which also reminds me, I need to find the URL for the Terry Goodkind forum and try to remember my username and password...
Ok, now I've got some questions. There were two series of books which I can only vaguely remember.
There was one where a few kids are living in the burbs, then they find out about some alien guy, so they build a rocket ship and fly to an invisible moon orbiting earth.
There was another where a chick was living this with this guy who made all sorts of disguises, and there was a deaf guy in the basement carving picture frames.
If anyone has any idea what either of these could be, please tell me! They were in the back room of the elementary school library, and I thoroughly enjoyed them. If only the kids and their computers hadn't taken over libraries. A library is a place for books, reading, and learning, not for computers.
