If your kid loved these books, are there others that they loved?

We have run out!

My DS liked Barry Loser, and the 13-Story Treehouse. He also really likes the Phoenix Comic and the books that go with that, and Beano of course.

We have been using the two month kindle unlimited trial and downloading diary of a Minecraft zombie (or some such title) which he likes and consumes in a night. David Walliams went down like a lead balloon!

Ha, we’ve been doing exactly the same, I hoped he’d read some actual books but no, just zoomed through about six books called “Diary of a noob” or some such shite. Ah well, reading’s reading,

We’re exactly the same! Went thru all the DoaWK in a week! And they’re expensive buying online, we don’t have a kindle or iPad.

‘The Bolds’ series are very easy reading and fun.

HowFurloughCanYouGo · 28/04/2020 07:56

Thank you.

He didn't actually like David Walliams but I had to put it up in case it got suggested.

I will look for some of these now thanks

I asked my just-turned 9 year old. She said Horrible Histories, 13 Storey Treehouse and Amelia Fang. I read a bit of an Amelia Fang book to her, and I enjoyed it. There are a few available on Amazon, they aren't a series that has to be read in order.
