[PinkSwimGoggles]

dc has to read non-fiction books for school.
un fortunately they have inherited my bookworm gene.

has read (and liked)

• how to train your dragon
• michael muporgo
• higgins, black book of sectrets
• lots of astrid lindgren

not too keen on david walliams books or 'dumping ground kind of books. def nothing girly.

what else should I order?

The Hobbit was one of my favourites at that age. Also Goosebumps books, so many to choose from and so easy to get into the whole collection.

thanks, did the hobbit some time ago (reading together) maybe dc can read again.
goosebumps are fun, thanks.

I loved Agatha Christie at that age, and my DS also found them entertaining.

the hobbit good and terry pratchett has written great books .Also harry potter

Street Child by Berlie Doherty is a modern classic, and usually well received. There is a sequel, about Street Child's siblings, but I haven't read it and can't remember what it is called!

Enchanted Glass by Diana Wynne Jones. And her other books!

Books by Eva Ibbotson. Check intended age range first.

Lemony Snicket books if not read already!

Percy Jackson series.

Some of dd's favourites lately:

• Chris Ridell Goth Girl series
• terry Pratchet children's series (I think I shall wear midnight might be the first but not sure)
• my family & other animals
• ruby Redford series
• murder most unladylike (again a series)
• classics like Anne of green gables; little women
• spider wick chronicles/lemony snickett books?

Anything by Rick Riordan, Diana Wynne Jones, Eoin Colfer, Cornelia Funke, Joan Aitken

The Dark is Rising
Children of Green Knowe
A Wizard of Earthsea

Second Joan Aiken, Goth Girl and Terry Pratchett (Wee Free Men?)

This list has some great ones... the Murder Most Unladylike series is really good.

The Wolves of Willoughby Chase, plus the Dido and Pa books by Joan Aitken

Loved The Little White Horse at that age, and moved on to Daphne du Maurier
