At 6 he tore through the Narnia books - but also Beverley Cleary (eg Ramona the Brave, the Mouse and the Motorcycle), the How to Train Your Dragon books, and The Secrets of Droon series, and of course Roald Dahl.

Secret seven is a possibility too.Leoniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07081197188456558450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751844810135357320.post-69446906142945682572012-02-14T22:56:48.762+11:002012-02-14T22:56:48.762+11:00Have you heard of/tried Zac Power?

And I've given Mr 9 and a bit "Artemis Fowl" {there are four or five so far} which he's quite enjoying. Not a fan of Harry Potter, too scary.74 Lime Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00268714553210525768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751844810135357320.post-30576423739149620262012-02-14T02:27:10.881+11:002012-02-14T02:27:10.881+11:00I, too, recommend the library.

I can definitely recommend the 'Roland Wright, Future Knight' series (published a couple of years ago) and if he is into fart jokes and non-fiction, factual staff, you can't go past 'There's a Worm on my Eyeball'<br />He may also like the new Star League series. All the books I have suggested have illustrations and are designed for young readers. <br />It's a very exciting time to as young adult books are really coming into their own and there is some real gold out there right now!Astred*designcherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17085373111194021519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751844810135357320.post-91125435210978671062012-02-13T20:56:28.468+11:002012-02-13T20:56:28.468+11:00ha, I recommend the Library!
