[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 60564, member: 3626"] I can't remember the title of the book that your son liked so much but I know there is a sequel to it. My daughter is not a reader but she did enjoy both of these books. Another book she really liked was "Holes". (She didn't think Harry Potter was boring just too long and not worth the effort.) I tried to get her interested in science fiction, especially Robert Heinlein's early works since they were actually geared towards younger readers. SciFi was not her thing but might interest a boy more. You might see if he would enjoy any of those. (The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, Farnham's Freehold, Starship Trooper, Space Cadet) The robot series by Asimov is also pretty good. I found that books had to be pretty slim for my daughter to be willing to even pick them up. A thicker book with small print just was not going to be read no matter what. When I get the chance, I'll ask her if she remembers any other books she liked to read at that age. [/QUOTE]
