What next for 9yr girl who has just finished all Harry Potter books?

[alirose]

My daughter loved the HP books, now finished them all, and want another book/series of books to motivate her into reading feverishly once more?

Narnia?

The Hobbit?

Anthony Horowitz? He has lots of different series.

The Dark Materials Trilogy??

oh second the dark materials trilogy

Percy Jackson series.

Def. Percy Jackson
Chrestomanci series by Diana Wynne Jones
Roman Mysteries

DD is currently reading the Eragon trilogy which she was given as a birthday present & says is very good.

Also recently read Fly by Night by Frances Hardinge which isn't a series (well, there's two of them) but she did like a lot

ds has just started reading the spiderwick chronicles and really enjoying them

I agree with The Dark Materials Trilogy.

Steve Augarde - The Touchstone Trilogy is great too.

The Ingo series by Helen Dunmore

The Seeing Stone series by Kevin Crossley-Holland

All fantastic!

The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins
The Gone series by Michael Grant
Wee Free Men - a great intro to Terry Pratchett books!
Artemis Fowl - Eoin Colfer
The Spooks Apprentice series by Joseph Delaney
Magyk, Flyte, Physik (there's more but can't remember the titles) by Angie Sage

Anything by Dianna Wynne Jones - Howls Moving Castle and the Enchanted Glass are my favourites!

I'd second ShinyMoon's list

Nanna is brilliant. Dark materials, Charlie bone?

marking place

War and Peace

Ulysses

Financial Times

Oh yes, Charlie Bone is good, and quite harry-potter-ish (school, magical talents)

I think there are quite a few Terry Pratchett books aimed at younger readers as well as the Wee Free Men - dd read one called The Amazing Maurice & his Educated Rodents which sounded funny

Lots of good ideas here, will have to write them all down for dd when she runs out of her current pile :)

Susan Cooper - The Dark is Rising. Just brilliant, and as a huge (adult) HP fan I think she'll really enjoy. Ursula K LeGuin - Earthsea series, ditto. Artemis Fowl is also a great read, and His Dark Materials ought to be compulsory :)

at Bibbity's list. Being a strange sort of child, I used to read the FT when my mum took it for a while (she used to read various papers on a 'know your enemy' basis), probably was only around 9 or 10 . . .

Chronicles of Ancient Darkness by Michelle Paver are very good

my dd (nearly 10) has worked her way through the Laura Ingalls Wilder books and loves them, just as I did at her age. They are wonderful!

erm...HP round 2. followed by HP round 3. if my dd is anything to go by.

but if you'd like her to try anything different the Series of Unfortunate Events books are fantastic. very sharp, funny and intelligent.

yes hatwoman, my DD too is re-reading HP over and over, often different books on the go at one time, out of sequence. getting her to "move on" is proving tricky!

What about malory towers or st clares?

Or the famous five?

My nine year old is devouring the Lemony Snicket books at the minute. He's read four in a week and is begging me to buy him a kindle. I may have to, I'm sick of him borrowing mine.

I have just remembered, The Invisible Friend series from Louise Arnold

Would second Charlie Bone. Would not recommend Hunger Games for a 9 year old - excellent trilogy but IMO age inappropriate.

Try her on Louis Sachar for a change of direction.
