Will definitely try them. <br /><br />Anu, our myths are pretty gruesome. Puttachi is very clear in her dislike for them. But what happens in these stories is that you are with the character for a while and they grow on you, and suddenly they are dead, or turn out to be bad--every child will be affected differently, and I think it is fair to issue a warning about their darkness.<br /><br />Shachi, that is something that troubled me when I was into the first Septimus book. But discovering a book with someone is special in itself.. how many people experience that joy? Besides, once the book is read, the child can go and read it by herself and experience it again.

I have not read the books or watched the movies. And I'm waiting for when we can both read it together and discuss each book, then watch the movie, then move on to the next. <br /><br />I will look at other series to read together though. <br /><br />Shachihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05008713817905152623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11795715.post-14890567617649652572015-10-13T06:59:35.201-07:002015-10-13T06:59:35.201-07:00I think we have been brainwashed by the media into...I think we have been brainwashed by the media into assuming the books are darker. If you really look they are not much darker than some of the myths and legends and some incidents from the Mahabharat or Ramayan - cutting off someone's ears and nose - is that not gross and brutal. What about all the rakshasas and the hordes of Shiva? Vikram and the betaal???Anuhttp://mobiustext.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11795715.post-62641440162259943512015-10-12T21:28:53.199-07:002015-10-12T21:28:53.199-07:00I loved Harry potter series.
