Its worth every penny

Spend a day with your kid doing activities and talking with him so you know what

I spend a ton of time with this one. He is really chill on possessions

Medute

Hatchet, My Side is the Mountain, Warrior Kid Series are good books for his age.

Zedhead

My son turns 11 in a week. All he wants is NBA 2K 2020.

I bought him a 2K game last year and he never plays it

Medute

Seems like the NBA2K series has really fallen off the past couple of years

"The Graveyard Book" by Neil Gaiman if he likes fiction

He’s a pretty sweet kid who gets scared easily

It's not very scary, tamer than the early Harry Potter books

He hates baseball. Only sport he won’t play

Medute

Does he like to try new foods? You could try a Snack Crate subscription.
