DS2 hasn't been a fan of reading for pleasure fr many years so this is a welcome revelation.

He's been reading a book called Poet X at school and has enjoyed it so far. I think this is what's sparked his interest.

When we were in Waterstones yesterday he expressed an interest in reading something in the horror genre but didn't want a huge tome.

I tried to find a member of staff to recommend something but couldn't.

Slightly he's not dyslexic, just hasn't been interesting in reading.

I would usually suggest a graphic novel for a reluctant reader.
You don't really say what he is able to read - there are books specifically for dyslexic teens for example. Is Point Horror still a thing?

Any recommendations please?
