As a middle school English teacher, most of my reading material lies in the land of YA fiction (I must admit, I LOVE the likes of Eragon, Inkheart, and of course, HarryPotter).
While I introduced him to HarryPotter, a beloved teacher gave him Wild Things, and a pal shared a couple of his own Goosebumps just when my son needed a friend as well as a good read.
