Can anyone suggest suitable fiction material for a 15 year old male
non-reader. After years of reading nothing but skateboarding,
basketball and computer games magazines he has suddenly got turned on
by fiction. He has read the first two parts of the Philip Pulman
trilogy and the 3 Harry Potter books and is eagerly awaiting the
publication of of their next books. He also a few years back read the
Adrian Mole books and has also just finished the Capuccino years. I
want encourage this development and need some suggestions for good
books which will attract his attention. Please reply to me directly
and not to the list although if anyone else is in the same position I
will gladly pass on any suggestions.
