Recommendation for non-fiction book for 11 year old ds

5 replies

My ds is due to start high school in a few weeks and just noticing in the welcome pack that they have asked children to read one fiction and one non-fiction book during the summer to discuss at English class. No problems with the fiction as he has read plenty over the summer but he never reads non-fiction (unless you could count Horrible Histories when he was younger). Any suggestions? He is soccer mad so something soccer based might grab his attention.

How about a football team annual like this www.waterstones.com/book/the-official-manchester-united-fc-annual-2019/grange-communications-ltd/9781912595143

I've seen a lot of footballer biographies at book shops.

We always have a Ripleys Believe it or Nor or Guinness Book of Records on our book shelf but if my kids were set that homework then they would probably go for a space or nature themed book (Under the Sea sort of thing)

Browse the Lonely Planet kids books on Amazon my nearly 11year old ds loves those.

Warhead by Henigson. Autobiographical about a teen who has cancer & asks to meet Gorbachev to talk nuclear disarmament. Not heavy going, read the reviews. Spoiler alert author still alive.

Thanks everyone. Some great suggestions which I'll definitely look into.
