I'd pull back the Fowl series for a couple years. It's got complicated issues involving consent, imprisonment, and violence in those situations that might not be very easy to contextually for someone that young. I was advanced for a reader at that age, but I found a lot of enjoyment in the Redwall series. It had great worldbuilding and an interesting setting for a kid just about that age. They might be a little difficult to get them to actually sit down and read though, as they are definitely larger books for children.
Yeah, I have seen kind of mixed response to this. So, going to read it myself first, and then decide.
Thanks for your input!
It's hard finding kid appropriate content anymore, especially with relevance to wider literature influences. If you dont mind movies, have you considered Howard Lovecraft animated series?
Thanks. I have never heard of them, will check them out.
In general, we want to get him to reading, and away from the screens, but if it's an interesting watch, we can set it for our movie nights.
