Hi--I need more books! My son is frustrated with middle grade fantasy, commenting that he finds it boring/babyish. I find him rereading Calvin and Hobbes and Bloom County or other comedy books a lot.
I would like to thank you all for these past suggestions, some of which he loved (Summerland and the Schwa was Here were two hits that surprised me a bit). There was one big failure--he actually got upset at me for giving him Ender's Game (which I have never read). He said it was really disturbing and he hated it and wished he'd never read it. So, although he has read plenty of books with violence etc, apparently there is a level of disturbing that is too much for him and I need to be more careful. YA dystopia seems to be out.
ETA: He is currently reading Anne of Green Gables, which he likes pretty well, but I'm not sure I see him progressing through the series.
