Garfield Reading

Garfield Reading
i can`t find a book for my 12 year old son?

he has just finished the inkheart series and likes big fiction books i am trying to get him to stop reading garfield

If he likes fantasy, he might enjoy Alice in Wonderland. It's a classic, relatively easy to read, and highly enjoyable.

There's also The Hobbit, which is a bit thicker, but a great read. The Princess Bride is a great, very funny book. Or perhaps you could get him started on Dickens - educational, classics, and VERY funny. There's Sherlock Holmes, The Jungle Book, The Yearling, The Dark is Rising series by Cooper - and you really ought to get him Watership Down, that's a fantastic story, I can't recommend it enough!

He might also like Ender's Game. Ender's Game is a science fiction story, obviously set in the future, where children are taken from their families and trained to be soldiers in a sort of space station. It's a fantastic book, and very thought-provoking, so he should enjoy it at a deeper level as he gets older.

That's all I can think of at the moment. But if he really persists in wanting comics, why don't you give him some Calvin and Hobbes? Much more sophisticated than Garfield, a real vocabulary-builder, and it might boost his interest in higher things. Good luck!
