Bookworm!


We found out last week that R is reading at a high school level. Hooray for R!

This does pose a difficulty for us since he is just a 10yr old boy. We still want him to be challenged and find interesting books to read.
The reading level he is at has books that may contain inappropriate material for him. So we were asking ourselves how to keep him supplied with interesting books that he can read without making him grow up too fast?
Today I stopped in at our towns library and presented the librarian with my dilemma of R's age and level. She was So Helpful! We found a few books in the juvenile section and the adult section. We skipped the teen section since it is mainly stories of teenage angst and R doesn't need that!

She sent me home with:

My Side of the Mountain Trilogy by Jean Craighead George
The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas
The Magickers by Emily Drake
Dragon Rider by Cornelia Funke
Exile's Honor by Mercedes Lackey

She said to come back with what he liked and didn't like and she'll help me find more books for him. He reads so fast and zips right through books, I'm hoping these books will be the interesting and fun for him.
