They don't read much, but when they DO read, they tend to like sports novels [but that's because they play a ton of sports themselves, so they're pretty biased]. My 12 year old brother also likes fantasy books. He's reading something called "The Lightning Thief" in case you want to look it up?
I'm a 16 year old female and I read a lot. Recently, I started a book called "The Dead and the Gone", which is a science fiction novel about the moon getting knocked out of orbit and the effects it has [tidal waves, etc]. I really like the book a lot and wish there were more like it. I'm also a fan of Twilight [how cliche =P].

I've got insight from a couple point of views.
When I was little in about first and second grade, i ADORED the Boxcar children book series by Gertrude Chandler Warner. I read a ton of the books. I also read Judy Blume (sp?) books.
From 2nd grade until recently I read the Harry Potter book series. I felt like the books grew with me if that makes sense at all. A series for all ages, I guess.
I read Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing, How to Eat Fried Worms, Holes, Hariette the Spy in fourth grade until...fifth grade I guess.
I started reading the Series of Unfortunate events by lemony snicket in fifth grade until now (11th grade)
My little cousins read a lot.
My cousin going into 6th grades likes the author Lauren Myracle and her books.
My cousin going into the fourth grade likes Jerry Spinelli books. I also liked some of his books. I think he writes for a lot of age levels... [ Heyman's advice column | Ask Heyman A Question ]
