Hi, I have an 8 year-old (soon to be 9) relative who was a slow starter when it came to reading; he is still a little slow and stilted when reading aloud, and is yet to progress onto reading proper books. At the moment he really likes the Hilo series of graphic novels for kids.
He is very quick-witted, mischievous, emotionally intelligent, and very physical and practical. I recently watched the Back to the Future trilogy with him which he understood and enjoyed.
Any suggestions for something to spark his interest beyond the obvious (Harry Potter, etc.)?
Thanks!
