Harry Potter - I think it's because Daddy likes it and has forced it onto them!

[helly27]

Sorry forgot the reason why she loves the humour in them

DS1 is 10, and over the last couple of years he has loved the following series:

Harry Potter
Spooks (Joseph Delaney)
Skullduggery Pleasant (Derek Landy)
The Hunger Games (Suzanne Collins)
Maze Runner (James Dashner)
Wimpy Kid (Jeff Kinney)

and we've just started on reading Terry Pratchett together at bedtime, which he is loving despite me having to explain a few references.

When he was a bit younger he loved:

The Railway Rabbits (Georgie Adams) - the first series he got really into and demanded the rest of the books!
Horrid Henry (Francesca Simon)
Beast Quest (Adam Blade) - thankfully shortlived as every book was the same!
Rap Rhymes (Tony Mitton) - he used to cackle with laughter at these
Enid Blyton's Secret series, plus Faraway Tree and Wishing Chair series.

My little girl has just discovered and loves Horrid Henry books. She would love to be as mischievous as Henry but is more like Perfect Peter.

DS (7.9) just finished Hamish and the Never People on the way home from holiday today. Brilliant book, he's been really into it.

I'm not sure even how he ended up with it, I'd not heard of then before, think a relative might have given it to him, but he's hooked now! Will be ordering the next one tomorrow.

Also

Harry Potter
Roald Dahl
The How to Train Your Dragon series
Swallows and Amazons
My Gum - also highly recommended, just brilliant!

Horrid Henry because it's naughty and Rainbow Magic because it's girly :-)

[vixxx666]

Horrible Histories - because it's factual but funny which makes it easier to remember!

[sajedapatel00]

My kids are loving the Meg and Mog series at the moment. I have introduced the series to them because I loved the books as a kid, and it's great that the books have stood the test of time, because they're really enjoying the adventures too.
