Thanks guys for all the suggestions. I'm headed out to some stores this
afternoon I think. I kno the boy already has read Harry Potter and at least
seen movies of Lord of the Rings. I may try Artimous Fowel that someone
suggested. We'll see.
They are both interested in music. The boy also likes electronics, art, and
animals. He is 12 and in sixth grade, but reads slightly below grade level.
The girl, uh... llikes boys. That's about all I know for her. <smile>.
Anyone got any other tips, please pass 'em on. I'll likely do an email
check before I leave later today.
Thanks Guys!

Anyone got any tips for books for a 12-year-old boy or a 16-year-old girl? Neither of them read much, but I'm the relative who loves reading and therefore always gives books.
Ah, I know that feeling! For the boy, Harry Potter Lord of the rings I'm not too sure what a boy would read just so it has lots of adventure. For the girl I grew up reading Christefer Pike LJ Smith and other books that were probably too mature for me. I do think LotR and HP are good sellections though many may disagree with me. The girl may be a little grown up for these but, some of the sweet Valley high books were good. Although the worl has changed a lot in 12 years. smile
