[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd bring DS to the library and get him engaged in finding books with your assistance. You may get a better idea of wbat appeals to him. I agree re the nonfiction suggestion - some kids are just not fiction readers. Also think about his interests. My DS is not interested in fantasy either which eliminates many of the popular series, but he likes sports and humor. Books he liked include Dan Gutman's sports books, Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing/Superfudge/etc., Sideways Stories from Wayside School, Johanna Hurwitz books like Class Clown. He also likes mysteries like Capitol Mysteries and, as dated as they are, the Hardy Boys mysteries.[/quote] + 1 Spend an hour or two browsing together at a library or a bookstore with a knowledgable staff, then check out a few things together and have a "family read" for an hour....[/quote]
