That's great to hear, actual experience with kids. And I love your word pictures, especially about the 4th grade boys. :) Oh, definitely! That’s great to hear, actual experience with kids.

With the exception of Sonic (the original book, not Sonic X - which has fewer fans than I expected for some reason) and Sabrina. I have waiting lists for those books when they appear. And Sonic, which has always done well, has actually experienced a bump within the last few weeks as the 4th grade boys have finally figured out that if you read the issues in order the story is even cooler. :) I have several 5th and 3rd grade girls who are into the B&V Digests and they have literally said they prefer to get those to the single issues because there's more to read. And as a side note Archie & Friends had a higher readership when it was carrying the Katy Keene stories. Now that they're no longer being published, the issues go out less. Don't know if any of this really ties in to what you're doing, but I thought you might find it interesting.
