Hi all!
Like the title says, I'm looking for a (list of) books to read out loud to my 12yo and my 7yo at the same time.
4 nights a week everyone reads their own books and 3 nights a week I read to them before bed.
I am so tired of Dav Pilkey, ready to move on to something more interesting but that appeals to both ages. Ideas?
