What kind of books does your son have access to?
He’ll read anything of military history, especially the Civil War (we live a 45 minute drive to Gettysburg and a half hour from Harpers Ferry, WV). This summer he settled into “Grant comes East” by Newt Gingrich. I told him it was abit over his head and he just kept reading. I don’t think that he took it in.
Redwall, Scott O’Dell, Stephen Ambrose wrote a book for youngsters called “The Good Fight” about WWII. I think that my boy is about ready for “The Red Badge of Courage”.
