[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 331409, member: 831"] Being a children's librarian, I think it's FANTASTIC that he loves the book. It's a gripping, fast paced, and fantastic series that gets can get kids hooked from the first chapter. Lots of cool gadgets (Gameboy that can see through walls) that really appeal of boys. I read the first two books in the series, I would have read the whole series if I had the time. But reading to avoid homework? Not okay. For a while, I had Daughter do her homework in the morning before school because by the end of the day, she was wiped out. Son can go either way, but I really haven't had battles with him. He gripes sometimes, but doesn't like getting bad grades (unless he doesn't like the teacher). It is a dilemma because I read to avoid things I find unpleasant too. So, I break it down into small bits. But, I know with a difficult child, just getting them started can be such a monumental struggle. [/QUOTE]
