I thought I would share my baskets with you this year to give you some inspiration. While books are the main basket theme, you will note I have included a few sugary treats. I am not a monster after all and even though we love books in this house, a basket without a chocolate bunny is really not an Easter basket!
Basket for my thirteen year old son (who would like me to add that he does not believe in the Easter Bunny!)1. MAD About Star Wars by Jonathan Bresman. My oldest has just discover MAD Magazine and it is so much fun to see him laughing at the humor of my youth! To purchase click here: MAD About Star Wars
2. The Death Cure by James Dashner. This is the final book in the Maze Runner trilogy and my son can't wait to get his hands on it. To purchase click here: The Death Cure (Maze Runner Trilogy)
3. Runner by Carl Deuker. Deuker is one of the great sport fiction writers for the middle/high school set. This book is more of a departure for him into the thriller genre. To purchase, click here: Runner
Basket for my ten year old son
1. The Book to Perfectly Perilous Math: 24 Death-Defying Challenges by Sean Connolly. Use probability to save your neck from the executioner by picking the right door. Can the rat gnawing on the rope save you from the swinging axe in time? A rowboat, five shipwrecked sailors, one barrel of fresh water - how soon do you have to find safety before you all go mad? I think my son will love it! To purchase, click here: The Book of Perfectly Perilous Math: 24 Death-Defying Challenges for Young Mathematicians

3. Sisters Eight by Lauren Baratz-Logsted. This is a lovely series about eight sisters, each one with a power or gift to help find their missing parents.
