Top 10 Books for Reluctant and Dyslexic Readers

Book lists are always good, and books to encourage reluctant readers are even better. This is a great list published in The Guardian last month of the Top 10 Books for Reluctant and Dyslexic Readers. It is taken from an even larger guide to tempt reluctant readers, Dive In, from dyslexiaaction.org.uk.

 The Guardian article includes great descriptors for each book, make sure you click through to the original list.
Ruby the Red Fairy - Daisy Meadows

Horrid Henry Robs the Bank - Francesca Simon

 Diary of a Wimpy Kid - Jeff Kinney

 Dork Diaries - Rachel Renee Russell

 Goth Girl - Chris Riddell

 Stormbreaker - Anthony Horowitz (review coming soon)

 Brock - Anthony McGowan (see my review)


Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief - Rick Riordan

 The Recruit - Robert Murchamore

 The Enemy - Charlie Higson

2/10

 I just had to order Brock despite never having heard of it before, as the concept of a story about badger baiting was too much to resist.

    Horrid Henry should get more press here in the US. It's really a US-spirited sort of book.
