Minx, your son sounds a lot like mine, in fact he is sitting next to me reading two of the Horrible Science books as I type this. We also have Horrible Geography and Horrible Science but not the Horrible History and Murderous Maths books. I think I will order those today for summer reading.
My son also loves disasters, at one time very interested in the Titanic and likes watching shows about killer fish like "River Monsters" (but then we can't get him to go to sleep because the same stuff he loves during the day scares him at night *sigh*).
I am going to have him do a typing program on the computer over the summer, I think some of the slow processing speed might be helped by typing.
Thank you all, this is making me feel better.
