They cover 100 topics over 10 different levels, and let you play against others around the world."If you want to spend time with the gurus at wikispaces -- here is your chance! These guys are GREAT.

Interesting list from Shmoop. This is what they said:
" The books on Shmoop's Summer Reading List were nominated and voted upon by teachers and librarians.

I like the fact that people could vote.
