inthevalley Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I live overseas and lack access to a library. I use Sonlight for my reading but the readers are not enough for my boy since he loves to read. Thankfully, I have a Kindle for him but I have had to return books a few times already since my son said they were too violent or dark. He reads very well and prefers historical fiction books. Any book under 200 pages is usually too short for him. Does anyone have any recommendations for books that are on Kindle that would be good for my son? He is in the fourth grade.

sunriseiz Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 What type of books does he like? I have a voracious reader as well and having enough books is always a "problem". :) ETA: Oh, I just remembered seeing that The Chronicles of Narnia will be on Kindle soon!
