You can really enjoy a good book when you know how bad, bad can be. Think about it. Fantasy and Science Fiction. Harry Potter has made fantasy a popular genre of reading. Check out more about Harry Potter at Scholastic .
Some people prefer to stay firmly grounded in reality.
For those people, books about families, relationships, problems, and issues are what they seek. Bring the world to your home with books such as Holes , Bridge to Terabithia , Maniac Magee , What Jamie Saw , and Walk Two Moons . My current favorite is a young adult book by Laurie Halse Anderson called Speak . For people who'd like to discuss real-world issues, try a chat room at Freezone . Each generation seems to have a favorite survival book.
