I liked Silken Prey because John Sandford incorporated both Virgil Flowers and Kidd (and Lauren a.k.a. Luellen) into the book.  I really love the Kidd series and since they didn't sell as well as the Prey series (according to Sandford's website) and take more research, he's not going forward with them but if he keeps Kidd in the Prey books, I'm fine with that.  I already have the new Virgil Flower's book 'Storm Front' on order at the library.

Flower,

"The Dead Boys" by Royce Buckingham

An enormous killer irradiated tree grabs a 12 year old boy every 10 years and holds them in some hellish limbo, sucking their energy to survive. Pretty creepy little book Jordan picked up for his summer reading project.

Are you reading it with him Scatter? I'm currently going through Roald Dahl's books with Matilda. She loves em. Last night was The Giraffe And The Pelly And Me.

Been reading some of the Hard Case Crime series. This is an ongoing series(been running 10 years now) that publishes new and vintage hard boiled pulp fiction detective and crime novels.I have probably 15 of them but they have published probably close to 50 or more titles so far! I finished Blackmailer by Grorge Axelrod (author of the 7 Year Itch!)and Dead Street last week which is the great Mickey Spillane's last novel, read Losers Live Longer by Russell Atwood this week and just started Fade to Blonde by Max Phillips Friday. Along with the great pulp style stories, these books have fantastic painted covers done in the classic pulp style too! Check out their website: http://www.hardcasecrime.com/ As a matter of fact our own Terry Beatty did the cover for one of the novels-Deadly Beloved!
Crazy am I? We'll see if I'm crazy or not!

We both read it separately. We have to do a school project based upon whatever book is chosen for summer reading. We have to create a cereal box that reflects the theme of the book. Now..........anybody have an idea of a cereal-sounding name that has something to do with a killer tree?

Branchies? Bark-Os? Wood Chippers?

I'm reading Frankenstein. My brother had an attractive paperback in his bookshelf that he's letting me read. I actually like it a lot.
