book recs for kids
Anyone want to chime in with book recs for Christmas presents for my cousins? They're very sporty boys, aged 9 and 11, and neither of them had much use for books until they belatedly got the Harry Potter bug this summer.
For the nine-year-old, I'm thinking to get Half Magic by Edward Eager and The Lives of Christopher Chant by Diana Wynne Jones. If Chris' Corner is out of either of those titles this evening, I'll go for something else by the same authors.
For the eleven-year-old, I have Lawrence Yep's Dragonwings that I've been holding in reserve since the summer, and I want to get something else. He's interested in U.S. History, Native Americans, and wilderness/naturalism - before he got into Harry Potter the books that had most caught his interest were My Side of the Mountain and The Sign of the Beaver.

Yay!
There are also one or two sequels to My Side of the Mountain.
