We asked children at a Costa Mesa shopping center what they are

reading during summer vacation.

“The King of Dragons.” It’s about this kid who is trying to find his

dragon.SCOTTY CRANE, 10

I am reading “Little House in the Big Woods.” It’s 238 pages. I’m on

page 109. It’s a great book.

I just got some books yesterday at the library. I am reading “The Pig

Who Wished.” I like books with animals in them.

I am going to get the new Harry Potter book. But right now I am

reading “Goosebumps: The Curse of the Mummy’s Tomb.” It’s all right. It’s

kind of weird, though. It has weird twists to it.

I have to get a new book because I’ve finished all the others. I like

mystery and adventure books. “The House on Hound Hill” is the best book

I’ve ever read.
