DS3 is a complete bookaholic, reads everything he can, but it's all fiction. He's been told at school that he needs to read more non-fiction and it has to be registered on their Accelerated Reader programme, but we're struggling to come up with stuff that will work. Most of the non-fiction stuff in the school library is very, very easy for him, ie the picture-type books intended for primary - but his reading 'age' is apparently 16 (I take that with a pinch of salt, it just means he can cope with longer/more difficult books imo). He reads long books v easily (think His Dark Materials, Rick Riordan, Jacqueline Wilson). Can anyone recommend any non-fiction that might appeal to him? We're looking for more Horrible Histories (et al) from nearby libraries, as he's read all the one in our tiny local one, but he doesn't really love them that much.
