Both are good/able readers.

DS (9yrs)loved:
Diamond brother series by Anthony Horowitz (but didn't much like Alex Ryder series)
Percy Jackson series
Wimpy kid and Tom Gates (although they are too easy now - he still re-reads them though)

Dd (11yrs) loved:
Wonder by RJ Palacio (think this has been read multiple times!)
Harry Potter (all)
Lady Grace mysteries
Percy Jackson Series
Cath Cassidy
Lemony Snicket (all)

I want some challenging but fun books for them both. Any suggestions?
Thanks Thanks

The Strangeling's Tale would likely suit them both, each chapter is a stand-alone story but the stories all converge at the end. Great reviews on Amazon too.

Ds (11) has just become really interested in The water babies by Charles Kingsley! After wimpy kid, David Waliams, mr gum, beast quest etc. and a book of Shakespeare's stories (kind of short versions)
