Best Chapter Books for Kids and Teens - 2004

These are some of my favorite chapter books from 2004, they are aimed at a wide age range of children, from 8 to 18. These books weren't necessarily published in 2004, but I did first read them in 2004. All books link back to my original reviews.

1. The End of the Beginning: Being the Adventures of a Small Snail (and an Even Smaller Ant) by Avi

2. The Fall of Fergal: Or Not So Dingly in the Dell (Unlikely Exploits #01) by Philip Ardagh

3. The Gospel According to Larry by Janet Tashjian (TEEN BOOK)

4. Regarding the Fountain, by Kate Klise, illustrations by M. Sarah Klise

5. Shooter by Walter Dean Myers (TEEN BOOK)

6. Mermaid Mary Margaret by Lynn Hazen

7. The Legend of Spud Murphy by Eoin Colfer

8. Rock Star, Superstar by Blake Nelson (TEEN BOOK)

Two books that I did not review, but that would definitely make my llist for this year (and probably be right near the top) would be:

Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli

Tale of Despereaux (being the story of a mouse, a princess, some soup, and a spool of thread) by Kate DiCamillo
