What is a great gift for a 12 year old who loves to read?

Question

He already has lots of books I've bought for him and he has stuck to them until hes read them all and then he's ready for another. He's my little bookworm lol. He has a library card and has probably checked out everything that is in his age appropriate range. What would be a great gift for him for his birthday? It has to have something to do with reading/books....please help! Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

Terry Pratchett books are wonderful and are made for intelligent people, kids also.

Answer 2

Well, it might help to hear advice from a twelve year old who likes to read! Lucky you, I am one! Okay well here's my advice!

Here are some good books/ series:

Left Behind Jr.

The Looking Glass Wars Trilogy

Nancy Drew

Hardy Boys

The Giver (by Lois Lowry)

Also try magazines that he would be interested in, I know I love those! My favorite book though is the bible. But, that's of course, based on my religion. Anyways, I hope this answer helped!

Answer 3

since he is 12..he is old enough to start appreciating older levels of books, like poetry...try some edgar allen poe...books with a little culture never hurt and i think he would enjoy reading them and trying to figure out their meanings.

Answer 4

A gift card to a book store

Answer 5

a book...duh!

Answer 6

A gift card to Borders books. If he likes to read, more power to him. Let him pick out some new books. Donate or let him trade in the books he has read for new ones.

Answer 7

Software / reading book combos are fun. Check with Barnes and Noble for some like, "Grandma and Me!"

Also check out gifts in these categories at this online store for some ideas:

Happy celebrating!

Answer 8

well you could start getting harder level books, or go to thrift stores and get a whole bunch of books for like a quarter each and put in a HUGE box and get like 30 of them. I would definitly appreciate that! (: good luck, and finally an older boy who likes to read.

Answer 9

Im 14 and Im a bookworm too(:

You could get him:

The Harry Potter books(I read them when I was 12(: ).

A gift card to a book store.

A "Young writers starter kit"(f he likes to read maybe he would like to write his own book!(: )

Answer 10

Maybe like a limited edition collectors book with like 10 books combined... or maybe a gift card to a book store? You could buy him a Kindle, which is a device that lets you read & download books...

Answer 11

Nice reading lights. They have some that you can attach to a book, and read wherever you want.

Here are some books:

The Mysterious Benedict Society

The Golden Compass

Anything to do with sports books

Good luck!

Answer 12

So he already has a lot of books.  Get him more books.  Nothing wrong with reading.  It beats vegetating in front of a television or computer monitor getting a wide butt.

Answer 13

Tools/ supplies to write his own story, a real cool reading light, a lap pad, to read comfortably in bed, or maybe just time. Do you read? Maybe you could find a book a bit thick for him, in dual copies, and have a discussion time, where you both discuss where you are in the book, and your ideas on what might happen next.
