Ds who is 7 is a very good reader and his reading is of a 9 year old. He really enjoys reading and particularly enjoyed this one here . I would be so grateful if you could recommend any other books that he may enjoy.
I was thinking of buying him some more of Eoin Colfer's but they seemed a bit "adult". The EC one he did get was a birthday present. Thanks

It's a tiny book - a booklet really - only retailed for £1. I could post it to you for about 50p I'm sure, and you could send it back later.

Just had a look on Amazon and I can get that book for £3 and that includes p&p. Is that good?

I knew you'd have some great suggestions Roisin, thanks

Can you buy books on e-bay then? I didn't realise that!

I think Artemis Fowl books are quite tricky, certainly a different league to Spud Murphy (Isn't it a fab book?!)

To me the joy of the Artemis Fowl books is that they are so different from other fantasy, in a taking the mickey kind of a way. So IMO you can't really appreciate them until you've read other fantasy books. However, ds1 has read them, and loved them (despite not having read loads of fantasy) and can't wait for the next one coming out this summer. He got into them by reading this little taster the seventh dwarf which was produced for World Book Day last year. You can sometimes get hold of them still in bookshops or on Ebay. Or if you wanted you could borrow ours (it would only cost pennies to post).

If you want other suggestions I'm happy to oblige, but we could be here all night!

Never heard of this book before, sorry so don't know what to compare it to. My ds is 7 and my dd 10 they enjoy Horrid Henry.
