Well-written fantasy for young kids?

DS7 loved The Hobbit last year. He expressed interest in LOTR which I warned would be too grown-up for him . I put the audiobook on and he found it boring. Can anyone recommend any fantasies for his age? He loves the Norse Myths and Kevin Crossley Holland's Arthur: The Always King.
TIA

Controversial opinion but I really liked Eragon and the rest of the Inheritance series by Christopher Paolini.

This might not be “fantasy” enough, but my son like the hobbit and he also likes the ‘Last kids on Earth” books. They are doable for children to read themselves, so not as complicated a story line as things like hobbit.
