With the success of Harry Potter, kids books, particularly fantasy,

mystery plot.  Maybe I miss reading kids books because I also 
read adult books as a child.

Hi Nicky Joe,
I've been expounding at length on another site about those kids 
books which cross over into the adult world by being far deeper, 
intelligent and funnier than you'd ever expect. I have two books, 
one of which is my all time favourite, to recommend, and 
hopefully someone (anyone!) might give either of them a go. I'm 
having trouble finding anyone who knows them, because I'd love 
to waffle about them. I know both inside out, and could do with a 
good book-talk session! The Guardian Of Time and The Odessa 
Stone both reached me, particularly The Odessa Stone (it deals 
with losing a parent early in life, in part). If anyone does know 
either, do post a topic or rep[ly to this reply, I'm sure we could 
have a good waffle.

Sandra (hoping someone knows them)
