DS1 (12) loves reading those My Australian Story books about settlement, war, refugees etc. They are a great series written especially for kids. But he's also very much like me in his tastes and he reads most books that I do - Douglas Adams, Australian autobiographies, Ricky Gervais' An Idiot Abroad, Terry Pratchett etc. But he also loves the horrible histories books and anything written by Paul Jennings.
Oh, the 39 CLues books would be a great series too.
