Any gift ideas for boys aged 8-10. They are into sports, karate, baseball, reading, science (geology and engineering), computer games, cars. The older one is bookish and starting to notice girls. The younger one is a little immature.

My son is turning 9 and desperately obsessed with Rick Riordan novels. The Kane Chronicles is the trilogy he's reading now. There's also a new Minecraft novel series out that I think looks like twaddle, but the very existence of it makes all the 3rd to 5th graders in school swoon. http://www.amazon.com/Invasion-Overw.../dp/1632207117Alison -
How about The Chronicles of Narnia? Fablehaven? The Hobbit? I know the eldest nephew is into Percy Jackson but he may have read all the Riordan stuff.Wife and #1 Fan of Attending Adult & Geriatric Psychiatrist.Comment

The Chronicles of Narnia is always a win.
My kiddos did not like Fablehaven at all, three of the six tried to like that series and all came to the conclusion that it wasn't worth their time. If they are into sports I would get them some kind of fun Nerf set they could play with together like dart tag or a target set.

The 8yo is heavily into baseball. Is Nerf too young? I got them a teather ball set last year.Originally posted by Pollyanna View PostThe Chronicles of Narnia is always a win.

DS kind of got into the first few books of the Narnia series but hasn't followed through on the others. And he's only just on the cusp of being ready for the Hobbit, though he's a pretty advanced reader for 9. He did plow straight through the Harry Potter series, not sure if your nephews have already gotten through those. Oh, and he loved the Chronicles of Prydain (Lloyd Alexander) and the Enchanted Forest series (Patricia Wrede) -- though a princess is the main character for most of those, DS loves that it's "not a typical fairy tale, prince saves the princess kind of a book."

No, dart tag is for 8 and up. Super fun to play for hours if they like that sort of game. You could get that plus books for the older and some baseball cards for the younger.Originally posted by MrsK View PostTara

Do they play games on an Xbox or PS4? I've heard skylanders and Madden football (maybe there's a baseball version) are fun for boys. Depending on what his favorite team is, you could always get him a tshirt/hat/mini helmet or sports player Lego dude.
