It just makes me feel sad.

I went in there once to find a hardcover copy of the first 5 Deltora Quest books in one to give to a younger cousin who is interested in reading before giving him more classic lit like treasure island, but that was gone and everything there was just terrible and smelled like piss and cigarettes.

What the hell is Deltora Quest? Are we going to introduce kids to Animorphs too? Why would you introduce a kid to reading with a random generic science fiction series?
