Pdurrant, thanks for the list! Figuring out the places to get books (and researching what's appropriate for her there) is going to be my next challenge. I did a little browsing and will have to get used to this very different way of finding books -- no cues from picking up the book, reading the back and flipping through it. This kid can read years ahead of her age, but her mind is only 8, which can present a bit of a challenge at times in choosing books. I try to find her good classic stuff, as opposed to some of the fast-written kids' fluff that's out there or young adult books she's not ready for.
