Can someone recommend a book for an elementary child who has stopped believing in God?

Does he or she like to read? (So many of them won’t read, sadly.)
Maybe get him/her the Narnia series by C.S. Lewis. The bookstores sell the whole set (The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, etc.) in a nice-looking package.
Kids like the stories (adults do, too), and the Christian allusions are anything but over-bearing.
An admiration for Lewis might even set him/her up for a very enjoyable reading of The Screwtape Letters at about high school age.
Peace.

He is nine and is home schooled. We don’t know why he doesn’t he just decided that he doesn’t.
Anyway we are hoping to find some books that might help him.
Thank you.

I’d have to agree that Narnia is probably a good start, assuming his reading skills are where they ought to be at the age of 9.He is nine and is home schooled. We don’t know why he doesn’t he just decided that he doesn’t.

Thank you.
Talking to him about it–and listening calmly and carefully to what he says–is probably a good idea too. Somebody should ask him. It may be that a simple conversation will help to steer him in a better direction. Books by themselves will only go so far.
