If you are looking for a gift idea for the 12+ year old and they have a Nintendo DS, Brain Age is a great choice, stimulating rather than brain-numbing. Although marketed to adults to keep their minds sharp, it is equally appealing to kids. It is half the price (around $20) of other DS gsmes and it's one of the few that my son hasn't tired of after a few hours. For under-achievers, it's also a great esteem builder. Finally, there is verifiable proof of what their mom has said all along, they ARE bright. For product description, google "brain age". Christmas is right around the corner.
