FINISHED:

Lowry, Lois. (2008). The Willoughbys. Boston, MA: Walter Lorraine/Houghton Mifflin.

[Lowry's take on children's classics of old has obvious shades of Lemony Snicket - or, at least, that's what any reader these days would HAVE to say. It also, in the way that the parents were completely inept freaks, reminded me of the Treehorn books - although, the parents in this one were hateful people who forgot their children's names and wished that they'd never had kids.]


STARTED:
Taylor, William. (1992). Knitwits. New York: Scholastic.

[Saw the cover (a boy knitting in the bathroom in secret) and was hooked...]
