Good idea! I went over there and checked a few of them out.
I’m reading the first Paco Ardit story, but while it looked perfect at first, as I get further into it, I’m noticing the writing is quite flat and there’s very little in the way of character-building. It may get better in the more advanced books, so maybe I was too conservative in going for the easiest level first. I’ll stick with it to the end of the story, then I may try something of his around CEFR B1 to see if the writing gets better.
I’m gonna try the first Lola Lago book. These look as if they might be fun. Did you get the ones with the CD, or does the Kindle version maybe have a link to a website where we can download the audio?
To be honest, I’ll be surprised if there are Spanish readers that are as much fun as the Dino lernt Deutsch books. The problem is, writing such books takes talent in both language-teaching and engaging writing, and I suspect that’s a very rare combination.
But we’ll see. I’ll keep looking and trying out the books you folks have pointed out. Thanks so much to everyone who has posted for all the recommendations! I feel like finally I might be able to find something that meets my needs.
