File: BooksForYoungerReaders A problem recently brought to my attention is that of finding books suitable for younger readers with an older reading age. One friend has a 6 1/2 year old with a reading age of 10. The problem isn't finding books for a 10 year old - that's easy - the problem is finding books with an appropriate reading age, but covering material of interest to a 7 year old! Here are a few titles and authors that have been suggested: ********> * Rick Riordan (Percy Jackson) * Terry Pratchett * Wee Free Men * Johnny and the .. * Bromeliad * Truckers/Diggers/Wings ******** * Alan Garner * Diana Wynne Jones * Lemony Snicket * Louis Sachar (Holes) * Lucy & Stephen Hawking * Anthony Horowitz: Stormbreaker ******** * Roald Dahl in general, * The Phantom Tollbooth, * Charlotte's Web, * Tom's Midnight Garden. * Heinlein * A.C.Clarke ********<
