This challenge officially ended today and I on the one hand I failed miserably. I only read 3 out of the six books I had hoped to read. On the other hand, I read all three of these classics out loud with Amber (10) and sharing them with her was one of my goals for doing the challenge in the first place.

The three books we read were:

  1. From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler by E. L. Konigsburg
  2. Harriet the Spy by Louise Fitzhugh
  3. The Great Brain by John D. Fitzgerald

We also watched the Harriet the Spy movie from ’96 which was really a fun movie, and fairly faithful to the story.

Overall this was a really fun challenge, and hopefully I’ll read more of the books I remember from my childhood with Amber. Actually, The Gammage Cup, which we’re reading right now was one of my favorites when I was in 5th or 6th grade.
