» islandstyle - Is 12 the new 18?

In response to Is 12 the new 18? posted by Carol331:

My son, age 11, is reading a Megan Whalen Turner
book called The Thief. I picked it out for him. We were in the aiport when I realized that he didn't have anything to read for our vacation. It was one of the only books available in qp for his reading level. We are reading it together and are about a third of the way through. It has kept his interest and he seems to enjoy the story but, it may have more to do with the fact that I read to him at night even though
he is perfectly capable. As far as distractions, I say turn off the tv,computer &ipod and sit down and read with your tweens. They still love it. Pink may be the new black but, 12 is not the new 18. Islandstyle
