Re: Where to buy books (new and used); aslo suggestions welcome

Thrift stores are a good place to check, you never know what you might find and the price is usually good. If you're near any locations of Half Price Books, they're also really good. See if they have a clearance section, too.

This is also a good resource to see if there are any library sales near you:

www.booksalefinder.com/

They usually have plenty of kids books and some have sales where it's $3/bag or something like that, so you could score a bunch of good stuff. Below are some recommendations. I've divided them into two categories but really, they could be mixed up depending on the individual kid's reading level and interest:


For the oldest girl:

Patricia C. Wrede's Enchanted Forest chronicles
Anne of Green Gables series
Tamora Pierce's Song of the Lioness books (some mild sex though)
Garth Nix's Abhorsen trilogy
Scott Westerfield's "Uglies" series if she likes dystopia, or maybe "Leviathan" if she enjoys steampunk
Neil Gaiman's "Coraline" and "The Graveyard Book"
Ellen Raskin's "The Westing Game"
Jean Craighead George's "Julie of the Wolves"
E.L. Konigsburg's "From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler"
Natalie Babbit's "Tuck Everylasting"
Madeleine L'Engle's "A Wrinkle in Time"
Katherine Paterson's "Bridge to Terabithia"
Scott O'Dell's "Island of the Blue Dolphins"
Frances Hodgson Burnett's "The Secret Garden" and "A Little Princess"
Elizabeth George Speare's "The Witch of Blackbird Pond"
Julie Andrews Edwards' "Mandy"
Diana Wynne Jones' The Chronicles of Chrestomanci series



For the younger kids:

All the childrens books by Roald Dahl
Louis Sachar's Wayside School books
Bruce Coville has a bunch of somewhat silly, fun books like "My Teacher is an Alien", etc.
Encyclopedia Brown mysteries
Neil Gaiman's "Odd and the Frost Giants"
John D. Fitzgerald's The Great Brain books are sweet, and all about brothers
R.L. Stine Goosebumps
M. V. Carey's The Three Investigators series - more boys solving mysteries
E. W. Hildick's McGurk mysteries - gang of of kids, solving mysteries
Marjorie Weinman Sharmat's Nate the Great books (for the youngest since it's got more pictures as well as a story)
Jean Craighead George's "My Side of the Mountain"
Norton Juster's "The Phantom Tollbooth"
Anything by John Bellairs if they like scary stories, but be aware some of it is kind of freaky for a childrens book
Zilpha Keatley Snyder's "The Egypt Game" and Green Sky Trilogy
Robert C. O'Brien's "Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH"
E. B. White's "Charlotte's Web"

Wow! Thank you for such a huge list of books. Some of these are old favs I forgot about and some are ones I've never heard of (the Neil Gaiman one)! Some also look like books I can find fairly easily at some used bookstores. :)
