[Bumbelinadance]

Hi
Looking for inspiration
He has done Harry Potter , outgrown David Walliams , world of norm , diary of a wimpy kid
He can handle some “grown up “themes ..for example he has recently finished John Boyne “ Boy in the striped pyjamas”

Any suggestions warmly welcomed

My side of the mountain
Wildwood and Under Wildwood
Skellig and part 2 My Name is Mina

Trying to remember the name of a series, might be called Wolf spirit, by Michelle Pavier I think. I thought they were about native Americans but they are about ancient Britain when there were bears and wolves about. The author has really thought about what life would be like with the earth as the only resource. Lots about tribal life and hunting but with respect for nature.

I've just introduced my 12 year old DS to Douglas Adams, he also likes Terry Pratchett. He is a fan of books that make him laugh. Recently we both enjoyed Wonder by R J Palacio.
