I received this book very shortly after ordering it. I think the boy I tutor will really like to read this one.
Reluctant Reader Finishes Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
My 12 year old son (6th grader) is a reluctant reader. I usually set a number of pages that he must read and he actually went beyond the goal at the first sitting. I know this book is geared for ages 7-10 but it held his interest and he enjoyed it so don't let the age range be your guide. It's a good read for boys who seem to be more interested in...well other things besides reading books--Mission Accomplished.
