[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP. It's a bit hard to fulfill your request for learning about "modern" "real life" things. However, a lot of boys really like the Warrior Cats series. It contains tribal power struggles and archetypal plots. "It's like MacBeth, only with cats!" Plenty of what would be interpersonal philosophy and relationship drama. But none of the corny fart humor and disrespectful behavior of DoaWK type books. Elementary schools often cover "Sign of the Beaver" as a historical novel. My older son liked the Geronimo Stilton (mouse) series but these are not realistic. I think they are funny and not rude. Our family loved Wayside School but it is very sarcastic and irreverent. I drew the line at dumb stuff like butt humor (Captain Underpants, etc.)[/quote] Do not start with those cat books. A plague of greencough upon their clan. Hardy Boys, Encyclopedia Brown, I Survived series, Lyddie, Jean Craighead George books.[/quote]
