    They love graphic novels which are not really read aloud material - but the stories they tend towards are things like The Babysitters Club, everything Louis Sachar ever wrote - both loved Holes and the Wayside series, both enjoyed Dork Diaries but the oldest has outgrown that. As far as movies and TV my oldest likes sitcoms - Fuller House, Modern Family, again The Babysitters Club but also things like Stranger Things and horror movies like the Scream series. I think what has happened is that her interests re outpacing her reading level. She actually had to read The Skin I’m In for school and enjoyed it a lot. It was the first book that she was ever assigned they had more mature themes and I think it kept her very engaged.
