Stuff We Like: Books for Video Gamers


Worried about the "summer slide?" If your child prefers video games over books, summer reading can be an especially hard sell.

The good news: Any amount of reading done over the summer can help prevent this "brain drain" -- and it doesn't matter what your child is reading, as long as he's reading. Here, a few books that may encourage even the most avid video-gamers to become rapid page-turners.
