I'm sure this has been asked before but I can't find the thread...(sorry)

I will be buying a present for my ds friends 9th birthday, he is an only child and I know he loves reading....

would be grateful for any suggestions..

Er, Harry Potter?

Are you actually looking for a book about a child being an only child? Or just coincidentally, like old Harry?

Lots of Roald Dahl books are about only children.

He probably has all the HP/RD books, I was thinking more about lesser known books....?

I will have a look on Amazon...see what I can find...

Thank you...

Lionboy - ideal for a 9 y/o, main character is a boy who is an only child (and extremely cool and resourceful, as of course are all only children )
