What book series might my nearly 9yo like?

[Deminism]

Dd is nearly 9. Loves Wimpy Kid, Tom Gates and Harry Potter but says she would like to try something else before moving on to next HP (she is halfway through book 4). She likes books that are in series rather than one offs, and she has not liked Roald Dahl at all and is a bit meh about David Walliams. All suggestions welcome please

Was about to suggest David Walliams, never mind lol!
Have you tried David Baddiel books?
He has some good children's ones

For the HP love
Narnia
Chrestomanci
Dark is rising

Warrior cats
Rangers apprentice
Lady Grace Mysteries

The trilogy 'His Dark Materials' by Phillip Pullman. An adventure series with a young girl as the heroine. The tv adaptation is currently showing on BBC.

The Treehouse series are great fun. My DD also loves the Phoebe and the Unicorn comic series and the Babysitters Club in comic form.

Warriors series (it’s about cats). My DD read them all, she loved them.

Arthur Ransome (Swallows and Amazons, then about ten lesser-known sequels).

Brian Jacques’ Redwall series.

Would she like other school stories? The Worst Witch and that kind of thing?

The Wolves of Willoughby Chase and sequels.

She might be a bit young still, but I started reading Antonia Forest around that age.

I second the Susan Cooper suggestion. Start with Over Sea, Under Stone and see how she gets on.

I also started to get into Agatha Christie, Isaac Asimov and various sci-fi around then.

Anything my Jaqueline Wilson - my 9 yo DD is obsessed!

Kid Normal
Middle School books by James Patterson
Murder Most Unladylike series
A Series of Unfortunate Events
Beetle Boy series

I was going to say Jacqueline Wilson. All my dds loved her books.

My dd 8 loves Alex Sparrow books.

DD has enjoyed:-

Warrior Cats
David Walliams
Beetle Boy series
Michael Morpurgo
Jaqueline Wilson

How to train your dragon series by Cressida Cowell.

Jaqueline Wilson’s Hetty Feather

I loved Jacqueline Wilson at about that age. Tbh I’d probably still quite enjoy reading her books now!

Also A Series of Unfortunate Events. I got into The Princess Diaries around then, although the content does get a bit more ‘grown up’ as the books progress so probably more end of year 5/year 6 appropriate. Mallory Towers or similar? I know Enid Blyton is a bit (!!) problematic but these were really great when I was that age!

The worst which
Horrid Henry

My series loving daughter was devouring Enid Blyton at 8. All the school series’, ‘Mystery of’, Famous Five etc.

The Spiderwick Chronicles and The Search for Wondla (both same author)

Thanks all. She has turned down all the Enid Blyton’s I have tried to give her and all the books I loved eg Ballet Shoes. She has read The Worst Witch and likes Horrid Henry on tv but not the books. She has read some Jacqueline Wilson but maybe I should try her on more as they were the ones for younger kids.

I think His Dark Materials probably a bit hard at moment for her.

But will check all these out thank you.

How to train your dragon series

Jacqueline Wilson! I loved her books at that age I know they arent a series as such but they are all brilliant. The illustrated mum was a favourite of mine and The Lottie Project oh and Double act was brill....oh and The Suitcase Kid I think I might order some for myself

My DD loves the Murder Most Unladylike series, and the Witch Wars series.

I loved A Series of Unfortunate Events at that age. I was also keen on Deltora Quest, the Troll Fell series and, Jackie French novels (most are one off novels though).

The accidental pirates
Redwall
Goth girl
Murder most ladylike
The mysterious Benedict society
Tilly and the book wanderers
The last wild
Look at Katherine Rundell, abi elphinstone, Sophie Anderson, Kiran Millwood Hargrave, Juliet forest for some fabulous authors with brilliant female leads too although not necessarily a series.

DD will be 9 next week and enjoyed Nina Bawden’s Carrie’s War and Peppermint Pig over the summer. She also loves watching Horrible Histories so I got her the book box set which has gone down really well too. Another vote for Jacqueline Wilson and Michael Morpurgo too.

If she likes diary of a wimpy kid she might also like dork diaries

Pamela Butchart eg The Spy who loved school dinners etc and The Treehouse series.
