David (dww108) | 1 comments My son reads quite a bit. So much so that I am out of suggestions for him. He's gone through all of my kid-friendly suggestions so I am turning to you all for help. He loves mysteries, spy stories, etc. He is currently reading the 39 Clues series and enjoys it very much. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.
