Y'know, this must be GMTA. (Great Minds Think Alike--we use this acronym at my office all the time. That one, and LP: Lipsticked Pig. I won't go into further detail on what THAT means.). I was pondering the Oz books, as well. I honestly cannot remember how
old I was when I read them first, so I can't recall if it's suitable for an 11-y.o. However, I'll delve.
And, YES, Phantom Tollbooth! Excellent suggestion.
At this rate, I'll have to drop my health insurance to pay for books, LOL!
