Ah!  There it is!  Thanks for jarring my memory-- I was trying to 
think of a good book to re-read before I die tomorrow.  (Oh, sorry, 
did I say "die"?  I meant to say, "go back to school".  Meh, same 
thing.)

I loved reading the Lewis Barnavelt books in elementary school-- they 
were well-written and fabulously witty.  I second the thought that 
this should be a must-read for anyone craving more magic and mystery 
post-HP4!

return to the Hallowed Halls of High School Hypocrisy, but happy that 
she finished her terribly dreary summer reading assignment 2 weeks 
ago)
