Re: Books for 12/13 year old boys
If DS has a games console, there are a lot of quite well written books that tie in with the games. Similarly, with the Warhammer games, there are a huge number of titles.

That's what they should be doing Loved the plays myself, and would love my children to be studying them
Thanks to this great website we now have a fabulous resource full of books for my son to peruse, if I can remove HP from his grubby hands.

Re: Books for 12/13 year old boys
The Warhammer books are fantastic according to my DS1 and OH, DS1 reading 'Ghaunts Ghost' and OH reading 'A Thousand Sons'.
Don't see the appeal personally but if yours is like mine and has figues all over the place, would live in Games Workshop and have no dining table, then I would second the books they do

Sorry to bump up an old thread but I thought some of you might be interested in this website: http://www.cool-reads.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
My 10 year old DS is an avid reader & was really excited to find this site, which reviews books aimed at 10-15 year olds.

Can't access the cool reads web site ! Is it just me or has anyone else had problems ?
Re: Books for 12/13 year old boys
Not working for me either. [edit - it's back now] [edit again - no, it's gone again...not a very reliable resource!!!]
Re: Books for 12/13 year old boys
Yes ! Love the website, like the style of the book reviews. DS has to write a brief book review which will be used in a publication for new Y7's He's already chosen his book and re-read it, but the website might give DS some idea's on how to write his review
