Hello,

My 8 year old has always loved reading, with the Harry Potter series being a particular favourite. He’s read all the books a few times and has also read most of the books we have at home. He’s read and liked:
-The Kid Normal series
-Diary of a Wimpy Kid series
-How to Train Your Dragon books
-Anything Minecraft or Starwars themed.

I’m planning a library trip, so if anyone has suggestions of books he may like, they’d be gratefully received. TIA!

My 8 year old is currently enjoying The Wild Robot books. I think there is a 3rd one coming out soon.

Polar Bear Explorer Club I think it’s called?

May be too easy but I personally like an easy read:
13 Storey Treehouse series
David Baddiel books
Barry Loser (I despise these but they’re similar to wimpy kid in style)

Also choose your own adventure books are good for getting different stories from the same book. There are quite a lot of them.

Agree with Percy Jackson. My DD9 really liked the first one and we are half way through the second.

Percy Jackson (or the other similar series by Rick Riordan)
A Series of Unfortunate events
