This also happened with my 7th grade son. I just bought both Wimpy books because it reminded me of a text he finally picked up and read on his own. I would recommend, "The Absolute True Diary of a Part-Time Indian" by Sherman Alexie. It also has drawn comics since the main character is an artist.

Ditto on Wimpy Kid. My own son is a struggling, reluctant third grade reader and he went nuts over it. I gave his copy to one of my 5th graders who's having problems and he loved it too. **Create a Home Theater Like the Pros. Watch the video on AOL Home. (http://home.ao
