and the book lists I'm giving you today and on future Fridays will help you find the perfect and best book, the right book, for any reluctant reader you may know.

There are a lot of kids who don't like to read.  I was one of them.  All of those reluctant readers are missing out on a ton of awesome and entertaining books, but more importantly those individuals are missing out on the benefits readers experience.

  • Have Stronger Thinking Skills
  • Have Better Focus and Concentration
  • Have Better Speaking Skills
  • Appreciate Other Places and Cultures
  • Keep Brain Stimulated
  • Have Better Memory 
  • Improves Creativity

This thick book has a lot of pictures which makes it a quick read.

Ninth

Boys:


This Alex Rider series is full of action and adventure and great for boys. They'll want to re-read them over and over again. 


This is a book series, but it is also a manga series.  Graphic novels/mangas are great for reluctant readers. 

Girls:


This Gallagher Girl series about a boarding school for spies is all around fun. 


This book is the first in a fun series you'll want to stay up all night reading.


This realistic fiction is easy to relate to, and funny.  There is some language; there is talk of a movie. 


Both:


This soon to be movie has a bit of language, but quite a mystery to it.  This is the same author as The Fault in Our Stars


This book, with a sequel, has real pictures that help tell a unique and captivating story.  This novel also has a graphic novel for especially reluctant readers in case the crazy pictures in the novel isn't enough. 



There you go, awesome books for even the most reluctant reader. 

Happy Summer Reading for everyone!
