She's 9 but a huge reader. Like others she devoured the Morrigan Crow series. She's currently absolutely loving the Sinclair's Mysteries by Katharine Woodfine. She's halfway through the 3rd of 4 and is massively enjoying them.

Over the past year or so she's also enjoyed the Roman Mysteries (there are great!), and various David Walliams (I hate them, but whatever - as long it promotes reading I'm not too fussed)

Cherub series by Robert Muchamore is very good.

My daughter really loved the James Patterson books, she couldn't stop laughing at them!

I can't remember the name of the one she's reading currently but she loves Michelle Harrison

He hasn't but I'll add them to his wish list. All female writers I see.

To put it into perspective there's plenty of Wimpy Kid, World's Worst, 13 Storey Treehouse, Paddington, HTTY Dragon and the Beano in the mix too.
