Isn't that almost an algebra year?
I don't know what books are appropriate for that age group. It seems like there's a lot of nonfiction stuff that would be valuable.

Thinking back, I spent a lot of thine that summer watching reruns of Giligan's Island and Leave it to Beaver. Throw in some chess, stamp collecting, and sandlot football and he's good to go.

That all those stories in my older brothers' Penthouse weren't really true.

Teacher here.
Anything with problem solving, science, math What if.... Study skills and How not to be a pain in the ass in 8th grade. But, since you are asking how to make your kid better, I will assume you have cared for a long time and are an involved parent. Read October Sky. The movie is great. The book is even better. Every 8th grader should read that book. What they did and tried is not what kids do today. Read non-fiction. Too much emphasis is put on fiction, which is not reality.

The Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi was a piece of literature I was instructed to read when I was that age. Pretty cool stuff I learned from that.

I wouldn't know. I spent the entire summer working 16 hours a day and like four on Sundays. That probably helped me more than any learning would have.

A Separate Peace. If you haven't, read it for yourself first then talk about it.
