Hi! I would recommend "Vin Fiz" by Clive Cussler!

How's your grandson doing? I saved this post
from you because I used to teach and do realize
that it's difficult to help some boys become
better readers, but oh so important. I hope to
find more recommendations. Have you found
anything that helps?
I write now because my son and I just shared a
book called Mostly Michael by Robert Kimmel
Smith, which is about a boy who has turned 11 at
the beginning of the book and hates to read, but
becomes a much better reader, and a better kid,
by the end of the book - but it's humorous, like
the Ramona Quimby books, not didactic at all.
My son liked the book so much he decided his
teacher had to put it in the classroom, so I'm
sorry I can't send it to you - but it's probably
in your library. Just curious, do you have an
interlibrary loan system? I took for granted
they were universal in the USA, but I recently
communicated with someone who said she doesn't
have access to one. Maybe they're not as common
as I thought, or maybe she's too shy to ask a
librarian for help....
Anyway, I'd love to hear what helps reluctant
readers.
