Occasionally, people post on book-related communities asking for book advice for a kid of a certain age range. Unless we know what this kid likes to read, though, we can't really suggest books. So I'm going to start suggesting magazines. A year-long subscription to a magazine is like several books a year. Also, for less-eager readers, it's easier to read a magazine because the articles are shorter than books, and because they usually have pictures, but they're supposed to, so it's not like reading a picture book.
Probably the best group of kids' magazines are made by Cricket.
They have a whole series of literary-type magazines, from Babybug (infant board books) and Ladybug, to Spider (6-9) and Cricket (9-14) and Cicada (older, seems to have a lot of reader submissions). They've got an insane number of non-literary magazines, listed here. They don't have advertisements, which is always a good thing, even if it does raise the price somewhat.
Cricket, I dearly love thee. *hugs the memories*
