He couldn't handle the pace at which we were reading (a little each night) and proceeded to devour up the books on his own after #4. (I haven't had time to pick one up since #5)<br /><br />I agree that this series has a wider appeal. I also agree with the comment about strong female characters. This is great for the demographic this series is aimed at. I know how I want my son to view females, but it is great when that behavior can be modeled in books or movies too.<br /><br />My 11 y.o. son is so enamored he wants me to make him a Ranger costume for Halloween. ; )<br /><br />~LilaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4754456360798018533.post-85880076688862581062011-10-14T12:35:13.262-06:002011-10-14T12:35:13.262-06:00My niece really loves these, but I wasn't sure...My niece really loves these, but I wasn't sure if they'd be for me.

My 9- and 11-year-old nephews are particularly taken with them. These are great books to help instill a love for reading, especially for young boys.Melvin and Carlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18256862979692568602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4754456360798018533.post-79682728801314893982011-10-14T05:42:13.874-06:002011-10-14T05:42:13.874-06:00Your review of this book makes me want to read it ...Your review of this book makes me want to read it and get it for my son.
