RE: Gift and book suggestions?

At around that age I was entranced by Susan Cooper's 'The Dark is Rising' series of five books. If they like the Harry Potter type stuff then this one would be top on thier list (even if they don't know it). Let me know if you want any more detail on the books.

P.S. I am looking at Portland State University for graduate school and will likely be visiting Oregan in late January. If there are any fellow fish in the area, I would love to meet you for your beverage of choice (mine being tea).

        WHO NEEDS DONUTS? by Mark Alan Stamaty -- just re-released after too
        many years out of print. A delight for a reader of any age, I would say.
