and she is so busy trying to keep up w/ schoolwork I just wanted her to have something to look forward to reading so that she would always try to squeeze recreational reading in regardless of being busy and tired--and these do the trick for her. If your child liked/likes the Droon books he/she might like these. My daughter waits impatiently for the next Droon to come out so I search for stuff for her. Not the most challenging for this age group, many of her friends read at a higher level, but for my daughter these do what I hoped they would. She really enjoys them. Good fun read, distilling my conversations with her :)
You know how you just want to read fun stuff sometimes?

My seven year old daughter LOVES this series. She is always telling us about what the characters are doing. She is a fluent reader and I was glad to see that these books have provided her interesting and fun reading.

I would give it five stars if the series included fewer books because I don't appreciate being sucked into the marketing ploy of extending the series so long. This series ends up being nearly $100, and these are not the only books she wants to read.

I would also recommend the "How to Train Your Dragon" series. The books are really different from the movie, much funnier and well written.
