I haven't read the ones you haven't read. Except Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry- I can't believe you haven't read that! And of course I've read Where The Red Fern Grows...I sort of wanted to call Abby "Little Ann"...I also haven't read Percy Jackson or Love That Dog. Haven't even heard of some of the others we haven't read!
