It's obviously been a while since I was seven.

I want some books that I can read with him, beyond the obvious Harry Potter and Roald Dahl.

Any hidden gems out there?

My 7 yo ds loves the Izzy set of books by Pamela Butchart - My Headteacher is a Vampire Rat, There’s a Werewolf in my Tent etc. There is a very reasonable set at The Book People. This is the first set of books he has really taken to.

He also really liked the Magic Treehouse series.

Cressida Cowells “how to train your dragon series” There are 12 books in the series and they are fantastic.

Both my DD and DS adored them. The stories are interesting (and all tie up in the final book) and the characters are wonderful.

Don’t judge them by the films. The books are quite different (and better)

Harry the poisonous centipede

The 13th etc storey treehouse
