I was walking past Ottakar's today and noticed "The Dr Who Story Book". Might be worth a try? Didn't notice the price though...

I'm planning on getting my 14 year old nephew some books for christmas. He loves reading. I know he enjoyed all the harry potter books and I'm looking for some ideas of any that are suitable for a 14 year old who always has his head in a book.

My son prefers fact to fiction, maybe a few of those to keep him more interested. Horrible Histories and Horrible Science on his list this year.

Would it be worth taking him to the library and seeing what sort of books he picks himself and enjoys - or does he bring certain types of book home from school (if he gets to pick his reading or school library books)?

Have just found a ten book set of Horrid Henry for £9.99 on The Book People site. They look fun so I think I'll get him some of those and keep my fingers crossed.

Fingers crossed!

Hi
If your son likes Horrid Henry books, you cannot go wrong with Captain Underpants! Incredibly silly stories with funny illustrations, full of cheesy jokes. My 8 year old loves these books.

How about Ursula leguin's
Earthsea books. They are excellent.I think there are about 5 of them starting with The wizard of Earthsea

my 11 year old is a reluctant reader too- but has enjoyed all the horrible histories, science, geography books, but recently came across books by paul jennings - a bit weird , also louis sachs who wrote holes and another one which all the kids in the local year 5 class love, but its name escapes me. give them a looksee and see what you think anyway. All the other ideas have been great too!:D
