  Are you familiar with the on-line social game, Poptropica?  Well, it's an adventure game for kids, created by Jeff Kinney of the Wimpy Kid series.  Ubisoft took the popular on-line game and made it portable, complete with non-violent, funny characters and exciting adventures.
From Ubisoft:

Both of my boys loved this game, but Luke really enjoyed it the most.  Since it does require a lot of reading, Daddy helped him play it in the beginning.

Now, he's getting the hang of it, tho, and loves exploring the 3 islands.

I asked both boys what they liked best about the game, and they agreed that the museum is cool and Luke loved the "cute characters".  They did say that there should be more islands to visit, but they still gave it a big thumb's up.   I, personally, loved that there is a great deal of reading and problem solving, while still a lot of fun.  I also heard a few laughs!  Overall, a great addition to any DS game collection, and ideal for ages 7-9.  
This game is available via your favorite retailer or at Amazon.
