We have an astonishing amount of kid's books - frankly, it amazes me - but because we have been accumulating them over years, most of them are way below the reading level of our two oldest.
Fortunately our middle child is VERY bright and can read at least two levels above her grade with only a little difficulty.
Trying to find good inexpensive sources for books for pre-teen/young adults. One of my kids is a voracious reader, but the other two, we usually have to make them do it.
Also - what series of books do your kids prefer? I'm finding that the old Beverly Cleary books I read as a kid are still considered pretty good, and oddly enough - REALLY old "classics" are considered kid material (Narnia, H.G. Wells and Jules Verne).
