At that age I used to like Judy Blume books. x

how about 'The boy in the striped pyjamas'.

He loved this film, so I think the book will be good to read, I always think the books are better anyway.

Good selection of books and authors for us to have a mooch around library at the weekend, I am sure he will find some in that lot that will interest him. Thanks for your help.

I second Catcher in the Rye apart from the fact that Holden is 17 not 12.

Also, To Kill a Mockingbird and Lord of the Flies.

Oops sorry, I don't know why I thought that. My 12 year old loved it though. He didn't want to read the other two you mention, unfortunately, so we watched the films instead.

Ds has also read some adult sci fi eg. the Lathe of Heaven by Ursula Le Guin which he loved and at 14 he is currently reading The Curious Case of the Dog in the Nighttime.
