Hi lexmark

I would like my p3 ds to read Sherlock Holmes and harry potter too but the moment he saw the size of font and the thickness of the book, he :siam:

I hv not read them so not sure whether they are too difficult for a p3. Pls advice. Thx.

My son is also P3. He is interest driven and being a HP fanatic (he has 3 homemade wands and knows all the spells), he has read all the books at least three times each.

For a non HP fan, i think book 1 - 3 are possibilities. A nonfan will not want to plough through the rest. By the way, he still read books like boxcar mysteries, bionicle books and silly joke books.

Harry Potter I think would be very doable. Sherlock Holmes would be a lot more challenging if your son doesn't read a few years above his age level. You could try the hatchet series by Gary Paulsen or the Percy Jackson series. Hardy boys are good too. Or famous five.

sundaymorning:
1) The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (Chronicles of Narnia, #1)

by Hiawyn Oram

2) The Witches - RoaLd Dahl

3) The Hobbit
My boy started with Charles and the chocolate factory by Ronald Dahl. After that he starts reading the rest from the same author.

You can try easier books like Hardy Boys, the adventure books by Willard Price, Roman Mysteries by Caroline Lawrence. I can't remember more as my kids are older now. You could take your son to NL and let him browse.

My 9 year old heartily recommends Jeff Stone’s 5 ancestor series for active boys. It is like watching a shaolin gongfu flick in words. He raced through the books. Available at NLB.
