BellendenBear Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Could someone please help with present ideas for a 12 year old boy? He is 14 but I have been told that he is quite immature and less streetwise than other boys his age so to aim for a 12 year old. I would like to spend ?10 or slightly more. I have never met him but we will be spending Christmas with him. He is Italian but speaks fluent English so I thought books might be good. Or a game.Thank you!

BellendenBear Posted December 6, 2015 Author Share Posted December 6, 2015 Thanks everyone, that's great. I'd forgotten about Wonder, someone recommended that a while ago as a good kid's book for adults. Hopefully I can sneakily read it on Boxing Day.

EDmummy Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Mr Gum books - easy to read but hilarious! Also Michael Morpurgo books for something a little deeper.
