I signed up with the twins for a book club they are starting at school.

I've never heard of that book, Melissa. I don't think it's one my boys ever read.
Sounds like a fun read!
My boys are still very young - 8, 7 and 2 and we don't do much ready yet. Well, not entirely true. My oldest son has just gone through a reading frenzy over the past year. He read his first chapter book ever last year - during the school year and took the summer off as a bit of a break. This year he has almost entirely read the complete series of Capain Underpants books. One of them he read in two hours. He just loves those books. The book he read last year was a Judy Blume book and to ensure that I knew that he was actually retaining what he was reading, I told him that I was going to read the book and then when he was done, I was going to ask him 10 questions to see if he could answer them. Well, to my surprise, he got 9 of the questions right. In his defense, the 10th question was very difficult. So, we are still getting into reading here at our place. I love that you are reading along with the boys though - very cool.
That's awesome that he did so well on your little quiz!
Sean is only 8 and I have a hard time getting him to read chapter books yet. The twins get to participate in a battle of the books that the school is doing. There is a list of like 25-30 books and they get into groups of 4. They need to have all the books read by at least one member of the group, because the librarian is putting together a huge "quiz show" towards the end of the year. The PTO is going to have prizes for the team that wins, and also have them for other parts of the battle.
