Inkheart?
this?

Mr Gum books are fab - make me cry laughing.

My 9 yo loves World According to Humphrey series.

Also Michael Morpugo, though be choosy as older end can be a bit much.

David Walliams have been a hit. Loved them both equally, though Mr Stink a bit more mainstream.

Take it you've done Jeremy Strong?

I was going to recommend The Black Riders by Violet Needham, which is a wonderful book, but basically you'll have a hell of a job getting hold of it and I'm afraid I'm not prepared to sell or lend my copy...

Grandson loves Wimpy Kid.
Doing Goodnight Mr. Tom - watched the video for our WW2 project.

We're on Beast Quest at the moment - 3 for 2 in WHSmith.

Watching with interest! Have an almost nine year old who loved Wimpy Kid and is still into Horrid Henry. Bought him Good Night Mr Tom but it is unread. Will read it to him I think.

Tells me he is not ready for Harry Potter. Didn't think of Adrian Mole.

I bought him the first Beast Quest one but not interested as yet anyway.
