Theresa is apparently trying to find out how many "Redwall" books one ten year old can read simultaneously.
Our family is almost finished listening to "Mattimeo" in the car on tape. Meanwhile, she has been reading aloud "The Pearls of Lutra" to me, "Redwall" to Grandma, and "Salamandastron" to her younger sisters. She began the Pearls of Lutra ten days ago, and already we are up to Chapter 51, with only a small sliver of a book left to read. She catches me with the "Pearls" every chance she gets--whether I'm washing dishes or sweeping the floor--and I must say, her companionship has made those mundane tasks far more pleasant. In two days of reading "Redwall" to my mother, they have already reached Chapter 14. Theresa is relishing the task of introducing her grandmother to our beloved friends from Redwall Abbey and informed me excitedly that "Grandma LOVES Redwall."
Grandma certainly has plenty of company in this house!
You're inspiring me to get Redwall stuff out again. We haven't read them in quite awhile .... :-)

My fellows are big fans of Redwall. Maybe they'll have to try it out on their Grandma :)
