Play to their interests. Does the boy like science fiction? Sports? There are a number of science fiction magazines out there, and for sports a sports illustrated subscription (OK, a bit more than your $20, but don't be cheap, now) is arguably not about porn but sports. You know the girl better than we do - but my 10 year old would not go in for Teen People - she does like Time for Kids, loves the horse magazines in her aunt's bathroom when we visit, and has expressed interest in finding a kids poetry magazine (anyone know one?). But, some of her friends would probably love Teen People (especially if there's a feature on Avril Lavigne - who I was recently informed is WAY better than Hilary Duff).

Buy him
Artemis Fowl- a series of 3 novels about a 12 year old genius criminal who tricks the Fairy World into giving up its gold. They are better liked than Harry Potter himself by a 12 year old boy I know quite well. Harry was born magic, Artemis has to do it with smarts.
