[quote=Anonymous]He does read a lot of non-fiction. I'm mainly trying to improve the quality of his non-fiction reading. He reads a lot of really lousy graphic novels (not saving all graphic novels are lousy -- but it seems like they got really popular a few years ago, and there is a lot out there with absolutely no plot, no character development, nothing that I would characterize as real fiction writing.) He does enjoy the historical fiction he reads, and loves to then share little facts with me about the history he learned, so that's why I'm looking in this area. When my daughter was at this age, the historical American Girl books were so good, and really pretty well written (if a little predictable)...but I think the fact that they are branded with a doll company will make it a no-go with my son. Thanks for all the great suggestions! I had not heard of many of these authors. DCUM at its best ... parents helping other parents! [/quote]
