E's seven years, five months old.
She did eventually read
Sir Gawain. She's reading at a 8th/9th grade level. She's entering the 3rd grade in the fall.
In preparation for the National Myth Exam in January 2012, I got her the graphic novels of
Athena and
Zeus. She's taken to the graphic novel format and I've been getting her serious subjects in that format. So far, she's read the
Origin of Species (graphic novel);
Evolution (gn);
Walden (gn);
MacBeth (gn), and
Beuwolf (children's picture book and gn forms).
I need to find the Iliad. I forgot that she read
Bulfinch's Mythology (the normal adult version) over Spring Break.
Secret Benedict Society series -- she's read the entire series several times.
Percy Jackson series.
Red Pyramid series.
Lost Hero series.
Harry Potter series -- ditto.
Artemis Fowl series -- ditto.
Fablehaven series -- ditto.
I'm not sure what to get her next.
