Emergency Help

Any of y'all with 10 and 11 yr old male kidlets? What kinda things are they into?

See, a friend of mine is a single mom of three boys. The littlest has a birthday coming up, and with her away working in Iraq she can't send things home. So a couple of us are gettin' him a few things.

He's getting a bike for sure, but does anyone have any other ideas?

he's a bit old for YuGiOh. HP is always safe. If he has some video game system you could chip in for a game. I don't know if he's a reader but there is a wonderful series called the Edge Chronicles. They're English. Are you one of my English friends? I can't remember, they're fab anywhich way.

here's a link to the first one on amazon.co.uk:

thene you can get the next three books as a set here:

If he likes those he can reed the other three. They're so mad good and they have the most fabulous illustrations.

in order they're:
The Curse of the Gloamglozer, Beyond the Deepwoods, Stormchaser, Midnight over Sanctaphrax, Last of the sky Pirates, Vox, Freeglader

Nope, not a UK person. I just play one on TV. Sounds like a great series though. Thanks for the tips! :)

it's good, even if you are American, it's not overly anglo! Who's baking the all important birthday cake?

Another friend of mine has temporary custody of them, so she'll be doing it. I did offer though. :)

Phew, got a lot of suggestions though, so we'll have plenty to think about for Christmas too.
