I loved Beverly Cleary, too! I think there are going to be a lot of my favorite books that will be a bit too outdated for kids now. Sometimes I'm not sure kids will ever understand anything that doesn't have cellphones and video games in it. ;)
Yeah, I found the V.C. Andrews on the shelf at my granny's house and picked it up. It was My Sweet Audrina and somewhere in the beginning of the book was a little rhyme thing about stepping on the colors from the stained glass window. The adults thought that I was just going to read that part and lose interest. I did not. I reread it as an adult and could not BELIEVE how inappropriate it was for a kid that age. haha.
