Chapter book ideas for a nine year old please!

[Nora1978]

We’ve done Roald Dahl and David Walliams - dd likes funny stuff nothing cutesy, I wondered if anyone had any recommendations please? Thank you!

My 9yo likes Harry potter, anything by Tom Fletcher, the Wolf Brother series

The Secret Series by Pseudonymous Bosch.

Has she read the How to Train Your Dragon series? If not, and she likes it, prepare yourself for a year of really boring conversations about different kinds of dragon.

Also, the Malamamder series and the Morrigan Crow books are great.

Artemis Fowl, the Terry Pratchett books for younger people (Wee Free Men etc) both big hits here.

Not sure if this will work but my DS has similar tastes and I got lots of great recommendations here:

What are your 8/9 year old boys reading? www.mumsnet.com/Talk/_chat/4174909-what-are-your-8-9-year-old-boys-reading

My boys enjoyed Mr Gum (I only read a bit and can't remember how many female characters there are).

There was a similar thread not long ago here

I posted several ideas on that and since then have thought of The Wolves of Willoughby Chase (Joan Aiken)

Judy Blume?

Just not 'Forever' I don't know if 9 is still a bit young but I think she did books for younger kids too

DD is a bit younger (8) but a good reader, she loves the Witch Wars series by Sibeal Pounder.

My DD loves Chris Russell’s Goth Girl books and Jaqueline Wilson’s Hetty Feather series

Chris Russell?! Phone autocorrect fail! Chris Riddell!

David baddiel

My nearly 9 year old boy has also read roald Dahl and david Walliams, others he likes are Harry Potter, David baddiel and diary of a wimpy kid books

Dd loved How to Train your Dragon series at around that age

My DS liked Jiggy McCue books at that age.

For child based action and adventure she could try the Laura Marlin Mysteries. Or "A Dog called Grrk" (that's the first of the series).

The Lemony Snicket series?

The 13 story treehouse and all the sequels. Funny and illustrated so easy to read.

Amelia Fang is also going down well here.

Pamela Butchart's Izzy books?
Iguana Boy series

My 9 year old has been losing his shit laughing at the Mr Gum book series. Makes little sense but it's the first book series he's read independently and it has positive female characters (not old granny though 🤪).

My DD loved the Roddy Doyle kids books at that age.

Danny Wallace writes funny books too.
And Jo Nesbo's Fart Powder series

My 10 year really liked the ickabog

My 9 year old is really enjoying the Redwall series at the moment. The characters are animals, but they include some strong females.
