He is 7 but has a reading age of 10. He has read the first 4 Harry Potters and a couple of Percy Jackson books but we are finding while he can read the words and understand the plot the subject matter is too grown up. He got terribly upset about Professor Umbridge's cruelty to Harry for example. So he's now reading more age appropriate books like Horrid Henry and Astrosaurs but because they are easy to read is going through a book a week.
So I need more ideas please. We've done the 3 in the title to death and I'm not sure where to go next. ( beast quest no good btw, the front covers scare him so he won't even try them).

Book people can be quite useful for box sets.

Agree with Tom Gates, Big Nate, World of Norm, also the Ribblestrop books by Andy Mulligan.

My nephew is 8 and a very good reader. He's currently reading some of the classics like The Railway Children, The Secret Garden and Mary Poppins.

The 'Dirty Bertie' books (very similar to Horrid Henry)

The author of the Horrid Henry books does some greek mythology stories
