[LM_NET] HIT: Book titles for 3rd grade boy

["Vaughn, Marty" <MartyV@GPS.EDU>]

It was suggested that I post a hit of books for the 3rd grade boy
reading on an 8th grade level. Hope you all can find this as helpful as
I did. Many thanks to all of you who helped out and contributed!

Ranger's Apprentice by John Flannaghan is awesome.  Very clean and all
about a little guy who learns that he is valuable with the help of a
"teacher."  There's 7 books in the series, and the series is medieval
times, with a few monsters thrown in for good measure.  The first is
"Ruins of Gorlan." There's also the Alex Rider series by Horowitz.  Boys
LOVE it.
