Exciting Mystery Books for Kids 9-12 and 12-14
Some parents say books are pricey. But imagine your son or daughter curled up in bed, on the couch, or in front of the fireplace reading a book they love and can't put down. That's priceless. Imagine them loving you for giving them the book. That's priceless too. Books aren't clothes they'll outgrow or toys they'll put away, they're lifelong friends.
