Fantastic Book Site For Reluctant Readers
This website was probably my saviour, as it was the one thing that got my son reading at the age of 12 for the first time! They have interest ages to capture the childs interest, with a reading age a lot lower. Eg an interest age of 8 - 12 years old with a reading age of 8. They cater from 8 to 18. My son liked the books because the covers looked adult like and the stories were exciting but the writing was well spaced out, easy to read, and the books were not too long.
