What next after Diary of a Wimpy Kid?

[Tommy]

My nearly 10 year old DS has just got into reading properly. He loved the Diary of a Wimpy Kid but has read all of them and keeps re- reading them! What else would he like? He's done Harry Potter. Thanks

David Walliams
David Baddiel
My Brother is a Superhero
Tom Gates
Alex Rider
World of Norm
James Patterson - Middle School
Percy Jackson

Thanks! A few idea there - he's read a Baddiel one but nor sure which so will check that. Personally can't bear the David Walliams children's books but the other are worth a look. I think older boys have some Alex Ryder so will give those a try too.

These are fun too

Mr Gum series

The Artemis Fowl series?

And Philip Reeve's Larklight trilogy is very enjoyable...

Has he done the Lemony Snickets?

Lots of great ideas here - thanks

Has he read How to Train your Dragon?

Seconding How to Train Your Dragon and Lemony Snicketts... and maybe Charlotte's Web?

I asked this question to wimpy kid author Jeff Kinney when he did a mumsnet web chat! He recommended an Australian author called Andy griffiths. So there you go, from the wimpy kid writer himself,a recommendation.

Phil Earle's Demolition Dad and David Solomons' My Brother is a Superhero.

Impressive Mouldycheesefan!

Great ideas here. Ds1 is dyslexic and has finally got into reading after starting the The Diary of a Wimpy Kid and I was thinking what to get him next. He absolutely loves them.

Many already mentioned are great - my sons read a lot and my 8 year old has just enjoyed the Northern Lights by Philip Pullman. Would your son like the Hobbit if not Lord of the Rings?
Agree Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson, followed by his Kane Chronicles and Magnus Chase....
Has he tried the Young Bond - they have been very popular in our house.
Both of my sons, aged 10 and 8 like the Michelle Paver books (Wolf Brother etc) and, as already mentioned, Artemis Fowl.
Dr Who annuals having a renaissance here too due to us watching (re-watching for me) the 10th Doctor DVDs- great fun.
Hope he finds something. But Harry Potter always great too. My eldest rereads them a lot.

I think there is a new wimpy kid book out soon, perhaps next month? (Just checked, it's due out 1 Nov) So he can actually read more Wimpy Kid in addition to some of these suggestions :)
