The Book Thief by Markus Zusak ( kid review) The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas by John Boyne
Can anyone here help us? Thanks so much in advance.Īnd now, a list of 24(+) recommendations, garnered from the collective wisdom of the YKNR FB group (made up of parents, teachers, librarians, authors, booksellers) and offered in no particular order.Ĭounting by 7s by Holly Goldberg Sloan ( kid review) I have asked the library and our local independent bookstore but both agree, there is little around for pre-teen boys without interest in the above. Books with real life themes seem to interest him most. He loved ‘Wonder’, ‘The London Eye Mystery’, ‘The Bubble Boy’, the YR version of ‘Ugly’. He is not interested in fantasy or sci-fi, which a lot of boys’ books involve. He’s in Year 6 but since Year 4, his reading has slowed considerably.
I have an 11-year-old son who used to be a prolific reader. Today’s discussion was no different, and I’m going to share the recommendations here because I KNOW how commonplace a problem this one is. Time and again, I’ve seen call-outs from desperate parents, looking for books for readers of all levels, ages and interests, answered so swiftly and fulsomely that you just know there are kids across the country staggering around under teetering new TBR piles. Over the past (almost) 12 months, the Your Kid’s Next Read Facebook group has blossomed into a wonderful community of nearly 2000 members.
