Life's too short for mediocre books. What is you favourite book for 7/ 8 year olds?

I am looking for suggestions for my nephews for Christmas. Both confident readers, i have been told.

The Fudge series by Judy Blume.

Amari and the Night Brothers is great. Might be a wee bit too challenging to read themselves? Good to read aloud.

Mine loved the wimpy kid series at that age.

My DS is 8 and a good reader. He loves Tom Gates and Harry Potter as well as anything by Roald Dahl or Tom Fletcher but there's a good chance the boys will have those already.

A couple of lesser known favourites are The Impossible Boy, the Marsh Road Mysteries series, or the Legend of Frog series.
