so... Ive been browsing on amazon and I'm out of ideas. As much as I would enjoy it I dont think DS aged 8 will much fancy jane eyre or a bit of Hardy, but I cant face horrid henry again! what will we both enjoy?
Over the past 12 months we 've read:
Treasure Island (DS LOVED this I thought it was good too)
Kidnapped (not loved so much)
the hobbit ( we both enjoyed but my enthusiasm was waning towards the end)
Lord of the Rings ( both hated and gave up halfway through first book)
Moonfleet ( DS likes I'm not so keen)
Harry potter of various sorts
and lots of roald dahl - which I enjoyed especially james and the giant peach but we had to abandon the witches due to bad dreams.
I can remember a series of historical novels for children ( one set on channel islands in WW2?) from when I was young which were good but think I was a bit older than 8 when i read them. any ideas?
