[quote=Anonymous]I have two kids like this. You really need to zero in on the topics they like, otherwise they won't stretch. My son has no problem reading adult books, as long as there's no sex: he likes warfare, sci-fi and tech, so read The Longest Day (about the second world war) and Jurassic Park and books by Isaac Azimov and things like that. He occasionally reads my New Yorker. The other is a bit more problematic because she can't tolerate mean things happening in her books - so I've gone to some trouble identifying classic (usually British) literature for children with more complex sentences than modern kids' lit yet which stick to child themes.
