BOY BOOKS

I have found it is much harder to find books Spencer likes.  He is a non-fiction kind of guy.  Annie inhales books.  She did from the beginning.  Spencer has always required "certain" books and so I bring home piles from the library and see what he likes.  We were in Oregon at Powell's bookstore and I got him all of these and he has been coming home each day, passing the legos and reading. Wanted to pass on in the event it is helpful.

He is also reading Unwanted but not devouring them like he has these other ones.  That Powell's Books is great in Portland.  I could just tell by the way they had things set out what Spencer would get in to and I was right 100% with each book.

Falling Into Heaven By Stephen Craig

Falling Into Heaven is a book about a boy named Ike who lives with his dad. When he finds out that his dad has invented a suit that allows people to explore the skies he wants to try it out. When Ike is able to try out the suit he finds that he is on top of the world. But there are also I questions that he has; Why has his dad not shared it with the world? Why is he reluctant to share everything with him? Why is his dad so nervous about letting Ike use it when he sees it is perfectly safe? I like this book because it makes me think about what we can do as humans and what we can't do but it also is very mysterious and it grabs your attention quickly.
