    I need to purchase a book for an 11 yo boy who reads voraciously.  I’ve already suggested all the books my voracious reader has read, so I need some new ideas.  TIA,

    Have you looked at the ambleside online list? There has to be something he hasn’t read. I don’t know what he likes but maybe a book teaching something? I bought my husband a grafting knife and a book that teaches you how to do it. It would give him a skill and something hands on to do. Or maybe an edible plants book for your area

    Eragon series

    Redwall Series

    Lord of the Rings series

    Oops, baby is up, got to run! I’ll try to share more ideas later.

    Have you seen this site?  http://www.classical-homeschooling.org/celoop/1000.html

    I also use AO and CM Help for book ideas.  

    BTW, I think that’s a wonderful “problem” to have.  Laughing

    My 12 year old son has loved Guardians of Ga’Hoole for quite a while.  He also enjoys Redwall and Ranger’s Apprentice.

    Swallows and Amazons (and all the others in the Arthur Ransome series)?

    Has he read The Mysterious Benedict Society books?  My 12 year old loved them (I enjoyed them a lot, too!)

    You should be able to find some ideas over at the Incredibooks website.

    My 11YO just started The Mysterious Benedict Society today, coincidentally. Earlier this summer he read the two books in the Michael Vey series, which he loved. He’s anxiously awaiting the release of the third book next month.
