I'm trying to find books for my reluctant fiction reader ds.

He is happy to read reference books on dinosaurs, wild animals, sharks, astronomy, Greek mythology but is v hard to please in terms of fiction.

He loved the dinosaur cove books, Ronald Dahl and David Walliams but nothing else seems to have grabbed him.
Ds is v similar to dh who only enjoyed science fiction as a youngster so I thought I may suggest a few for ds.

Any ideas please?

Have you tried the Tom Gates series by Liz Pichon?

The Skulduggery Pleasant series has also been very popular with boys in particular. It's got a huge following.

Have you seen Philip Reeve's book Mortal Engines? I think there's a series of them.
