Books for a 10 year old boy who reads a LOT. I've run out of ideas and we have vouchers to spend!

We have £40 of book tokens and the plan for this afternoon (and a poorly boy who is stuck in bed) is to go online and spend them. I'm stuck for suggestions though. He reads a lot and we've done most of the popular series, Rick Riordan, HP, The secrets of the immortal Nicholas Flamel etc.

He loved the following:

the letter for the king
small change for stuart/big change for stuart
the invention of hugo cabret
wonder
Momo
The Never ending story
Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit
His Dark Materials

Trying to stay away from dystopia stuff e.g. Hunger games, divergence etc given his age. He has read the Predator Cities series though

Any suggestions for great books we might not have thought of? I was considering Holes.

Similarly if anyone has any suggestions for DS2 (8) who already has his brother's double stacked bookcases to choose from that would be great.

Boy with the Bronze Axe (about Skara Brae)
The Jennings series - funnier than William
Molesworth books - told my ds they were like an old-fashioned Wimpy Kid and that got him hooked

We are just finishing the Icemark Chronicles by Stuart Hill, not that we'll known but very well written. My dd (9) has read a lot of similar and we've really enjoyed it.

Also, How to Train Your Dragon books. There are loads but good fun.

Some great suggestions here that we will copy too!

Dragonrider by Cornelia Funke

Sword of Kuromori

Born to Run by Michael Morpurgo
