DS loves reading. DS reads wimpy kids, Tome Gates, Billionaire book series again and again, for Christmas and birthday presents, all he wants are more of these books. He also likes horribly history, geography book series very much. He reads Paddington, famous five, secret seven books series at school, but doesn't seem that interested as he did not ask me to buy more. I wonder if it is time to widen his reading range, he doesn't like happy Porter as he doesn't believe in magic, so he said. Can any mum give any book suggestions (I am not native British, so have limited English literature knowledge)? Thanks.

I love "Happy Porter" for "Harry Potter" I shall continue to call him that. 
My ds (he's 6yo) likes fact books. He likes the horrible history/geography/science but also other fact books about things he's interested in. He prefers the Adventure series (Enid Blyton) to FF/SS.
He really enjoyed some of the Swallows and Amazon series (particularly Peter Duck) by Arthur Ransome. He also enjoys Biggles, although that's probably because he likes WWII and flying mostly.
