What’s The Eight-Year-Old reading this week?

A sampling of this week’s books:

• The Surprise Attack of Jabba the Puppet by Tom Angleberger
• Dragons at Crumbling Castle and Other Tales by Terry Pratchett
• Harriet the Spy by Louise Fitzhugh

Our unusually happy reading streak continues this week with a momentous discovery. Terry Pratchett, one of my favorite fantasy writers, also wrote children’s books. What’s more, The Eight-Year-Old is exactly the right age to read them. This discovery prompted much joy on Mommyo’s part and launched more than a few giggles from The Eight-Year-Old, who read her first Terry Pratchett story on our Very Large and Very Red Reading Couch.

I’m going to be stuck with that couch forever now. The Eight-Year-Old has informed me that it’s hallowed ground.
