I normally stick to books about Florida, humor & crime (I know, a arrow scope of material) but I decided to read the books Cameron has to read  for summer reading for 9th grade.   I am so glad I did because I feel it has opened my mind to a whole new world in terms of reading.    Oh, did I say that I am completely blowing Cameron away in his reading.. :>
