\o/ Yay!

Read some Robert Westall. I think that's aimed at around your age. Maybe a little younger, but hey you might like.

Look at his current reading material. Do you really think he'll manage that lot?

Damn, I'd recommend 1984, the Algebraist, Catch-22, Vurt, Feersum Enjinn and Das Boot among scores of others. I've a feeling he'd give up on the first long word / brainstretching idea though.

Those captain underpants books are good. I own all of them. They're cheap laffs.

It really is a step or two up from The underpants "epics".

As a thirteen year old myself I recommend you read the book Mortal Engines by Phillip Reeve. Oh yeah and some of Unfortunate events series.
