Liturature Selections

Ok — I think I’ve got most of my material ordered for the year.  I’ve got Math, Science, Bible, Language Arts (except for AAS which I will order later in the year — we’re going to focus on handwriting through copy work then hopefully move on to dictation towards the end of the first term.  We’ll see if it gets us anywhere.  I think AAS will be a must for my oldest eventually.) I am doing a Canadian Studies unit for Social Studies, mostly through library (living) books, half planned.  What I haven’t put a whole lot into yet is selecting literature for my boys.  I have a list of books that I would like to do with my boys, but I’m looking for some more selections, preferably adventure/mystery type books appropriate for 7-11 year olds.  They both read well.  Coming from public school they both are drawn to twaddle.  They love to listen to me read good literature, and I’ve read many good classics them over the years, but they are not likely to pick up a good book and read it on their own — they “wait for mom to read it to me”.  I know that I will have to assign books and x number of chapters per week, but I’d like to give them a little choice — for example, give them a list of 10 books and say they must read four of them per term, kind of thing.  Giving my oldest choices with in my perameters is the best way to deal with this strong willed child.  My younger is ADHD, so while he loves to read and reads far beyond grade level, he has a great deal of difficulty finishing a book.  So, any suggestions of books that will hold there attention?
