Thank you for your advice. One problem is that he lives in a small community with no public library. He can borrow some books from his elementary school where his teacher does her best to find material for him. It's not so much finding books at his reading level but rather trying to ensure they are at his maturity level as well. Most of the books he has ready access to are ones purchased for him. We, his grandparents, live in another part of the country and we like to encourage his reading by sending him books for birthdays and other occasions. At one time it was Robert Munsch and similar types but he's progressed beyond that now. I had suggested on the telephone last evening that he should see if he can get a copy of Treasure Island (not really considering his age). As it was, he called back a bit later and said he had found that book in his own library at home - must have been given to him at one time. Anyway, we were just speaking to him and he says he read the first chapter of TI today. I'm thinking it must be within his reading ability if not otherwise suitable.
