Matthew's AR Bookshelf

The boys have a great reading program at their school called Accelerated Reader.  They read books, take quizzes and get points.  They are very motivated by this program.  I am able to log on and see the books they are reading.

Here are some of the books on Matthew's AR bookshelf.  (Age 10/Grade 5)

Any recommendations for a sweet ten year old?
