Reading for 10 year old boy

[GettinTrimmer]

My ds is a good reader; at the moment he's reading The Hobbit and has just finished the Chronicles of Narnia after reading all the Harry Potters.

Anybody with a ds age 10 (year 6) what else have they enjoyed?

Thinking of going on to Artemis Fowl and Terry Pratchett.

Does he read non-fiction as well as fiction?

DS is YR6. He enjoys some of the Garth Nix books, has read the Percy Jackson books, the Artemis Fowl books and the Skullduggery Pleasance books too.

Non fiction wise he loves the Horrible Histories, and the Horrible Science books.

He reads Chess books for fun too

Bonsoir, he mainly just reads fiction now. He used to read non-fiction and refuse to read fiction!

manky thanks will look up those suggestions. He did try and play chess a while ago but got frustrated; time we had another try!

dd is 10.5, she likes Artemis Fowl, the Eragon books, Michelle Paver's Chronicles of Ancient Darkness, the Percy Jackson books & others by the same author with Egyptian gods in them, lots of others but can't think right now.

YY, Artemis Fowl are excellent. My 10 yr old DD and I argue over who gets to read them first when they come out!

Charlie Bone are a bit like HP and nice long series.

DD found Eragon books "not very well written" but haven't investigated exactly what she objected to yet.

10 is a great age for the Roman Mysteries, too.

Other possibilities - all old but good:

Diana Wynne Jones - The Power of Three, The Homeward Bounders and The Ogre Downstairs might be good ones to try.

Rosemary Sutcliff - Eagle of the Ninth trilogy but loads of others too

The Silver Sword
I am David

The Mortal Engines series by Philip Reeve is great. And two older ones: the Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula le Guin and the Sword in the Stone by T H White.

If he likes spy/villain type books then he might enjoy :
Alex Rider series
Hero.com/Villian.net
H.I.V.E

More adventure type:

Tunnels series
Skuldugerry Pleasant

Magic:
Septimus heap
Charlie Bone

Sherlock Holmes?

Swallows and Amazons?

Has he read Susan Cooper's "The Dark is Rising" series?
The other obviousl one is Lord of the Rings!

He might want to start on the Young Bond books by Charlie Higson.

My son is reading Ribblestrop by Andy Mulligan - about a somewhat anarchic school with weird goings-on in the basement!

When I was around that age I read an awful lot of Nicholas Fisk's Sci-Fi stuff.

The Alex Rider series by A Horowitz.
