Thanks i will give this List to my grandaughter she is a big reader. I have been buying her books for years and she was tested and her reading level is 12.8 which is good i guess since she is in 8th grade. I am so happy SpellBound is finally here almost. Thanks your biggest fan. Joannie jscddmj [at]aol [dot]com
