I'd love some inspiration for my 11 and 6 year old sons and 9 year old daughter.

11 year old has loved: Malorie Blackman, Wimpy Kid, David Walliams, Anthony Horowitz, Calvin and Hobbes

9 year old has loved: David Walliams, Judy Moody, Daisy and the Trouble With, some Jacqueline Wilson, Spy Dog, Lost Puppies/Kittens/Ponies

6 year old is Orange band and has read lots of Dr Seuss green back books and likes to listen to Roald Dahl, Horrid Henry, Guiness Book of Records

DD2 (3)
Mirabelle and Maud
Pretend You?re a Cat
The Doctor Who Annual
