My 9yo has recently enjoyed Ender’s Game, Harry Potter, Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, and What If. He recently asked to borrow my The Vital Question (it came up in conversation about abiogenesis) and he’s mostly following it so far but has occasional questions for me, we’ll see how far he gets or if he loses steam.
For non-books, he wanted to do Khan academy cosmology / astronomy, I think he did one big unit of Khan academy math before losing interest, he likes Eureka crates (little kits to build your own soap dispenser, rivet press, ukulele, whatever, they come once a month, good gift), lotsa video games, and he was doing DuoLingo Spanish every night (he has a streak, he’s a total sucker for gamification) but to my dismay decided to switch to the rather less practical DuoLingo Klingon. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
