I'd like to thank everybody who gave me book recommendations for my daughter Hannah yesterday on Facebook. I have every intention of going through the list with her next time we're at the library and/or the comic book store. Although, to be fair, Hannah prefers prose. It's Emma, my younger daughter, who reads (consumes, devours) comics.
In any event, when push came to shove last night, I pulled about ten paperbacks out of my library and gave them to Hannah to choose through. Amongst them were
The Hobbit,
On Basilisk Station (the first Honor Harrington book), and
The Best of Sherlock Holmes, Vol. II--because she
loves mysteries. But in the moment, the book that I recommended was
Erin Evans's The God Catcher from Wizards of the Coast publishing.

| The God Catcher by Erin Evans |
It's about a young girl in Waterdeep who's learning to be a wizard/thief, and I thought it'd be a quick read that was right up Hannah's alley. That said, she didn't have any immediate feedback on it last night, so... I'm not at all sure that it grabbed her attention. And with Hannah, you
really only get three pages to make her want to keep reading.
