mama2cntrykids Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 He'll also like_______________. Please fill in the blank. He's on the last book of Beyond the Spiderwick Chronicles and I don't know what else to get for him. I've tried getting him to read the Young Indiana Jones books and the kids version of War of the Worlds, but to no avail. He's just NOT interested. Oh, I've also tried to get him to read How to Train Your Dragon and Series of Unfortunate Events but no-go. Which surprises me. I thought he'd really be in to those, but he won't give them a chance.

Guest dc3684 Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 (edited) My son will be 8 in May, but he is a pretty advanced reader. These are some we either have read or are reading and enjoy. These are all series. Captain Underpants Diary of a Wimpy Kid Hank the Cowdog Fart Powder The Name of This Book is Secret - Pseudonymous Bosch Mysterious Benedict Society 39 Clues Another Whole Story Chronicles of Narnia Guardians of Ga'hoole Percy Jackson Series of Unfortunate Events Inkheart Eragon *Edited to add, oddly enough, we have never read the Spiderwick Cronicles, I am adding the series to our list!

mama2cntrykids Posted March 12, 2011 Author Share Posted March 12, 2011 Thank you for the replies! I know some of the books mentioned he won't read because they're too thick and that overwhelms him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
