Frank Peretti's stuff?

(Why LOTR and not HP, that's sort of weird...)

Um, twelve, twelve....um...bother at 12 I was reading the Secret Garden and Ballet Shoes also Paddington, all very nice books but not exactly the right sort for someone who's into LOTR.

Ooo, he might enjoy Tamora Pierce's stuff too. Although that's not cool if HP isn't. But it is cool if LOTR is. Dragonlance is often popular, but has mature themes and made up gods. Eh, Peretti's stuff will definitely be safe on all counts, stick with that.

From their family stand-point..(please don't turn this into a debate)..HP is witch-craft...LOTR is kinda a metaphor(is that what I want to say) for the world..devil..god...

Ah. Okay then. Definitely not Pierce's stuff or Dragonlance then.

Ooo, "A Wrinkle in Time" (later parts of the series even have seraphim--actual angels!) and "The Phantom Tollbooth"

Frank Peretti's kids books Sorry, this is what I was talking about. I think that from what you've said his parents will *love* these books and he'll find them interesting too.
