[quote=Anonymous]I'm in the same boat. It's tough, because you want him to read but just handing over bigger books written for older readers isn't exactly appropriate. For example, my kid was blowing through Diary of a Wimpy Kid but it was kind of mature and he was afraid of some chapters. I feel some Roald Dahl are even a bit dark, and even the Ramona books spoil the Santa Claus thing and this is probably his last year of pretending to believe. We have been having good luck with lots of Choose Your Own Adventure, Hardy Boys, and series after series after series. Some hits have been Bad Kitty, My Weird School (there are something like 50 of these), and shorter series' that he'll blow through in a weekend like 13 Story Treehouse and Arnie the Donut. You just kind of have to plow through the library and take what you can find. We buy books plenty of the time, but we borrow so so so many more. [/quote]
