Sounds like it was a really really really really really really cool story, Shanna. Sure you don't want to post it? :-) Nothing of mine survived from my grade school years. Guess my mom was not that sentimental. I just had an interesting discussion with my wife regarding this thread. Just what is an adult book vs. a children's book? My brother sent me a bunch of books when I was 10 or younger and I read them. The only title I can remember form the collection was Treasure Island. Black Beauty might have been in there too and that might be where I got Tom Sawyer. Now is TI an adult book, or a children's book? Beats me. Seems a lot of folks (books store managers for one) seem to think if the main character is a child then it's a kids book. Not necessarily the case. The first book I can remember reading was Babar. Love Babar to this day. What a wonderful set of books he did. jon
