Any chapter book recommendations for DS6 please? Reads independently and loves books, so just looking for something new to start him on. Thank you!

I remember my now 17yr old loving Diary of a Wimpy Kid?

Enid Blyton: Secret seven, famous five, faraway tree

The Worst Witch

Mr Gum (very funny)

@FiddlefigOnTheRoof he loves Mr Gum! I’ve tried him on some of the Enid Blyton books but he seems to like Roald Dahl better. I’ll give those a second shot.

Chicken Mission
Astrosaurs

and, dare I say it, Beast Quest?

Not a chapter book but Now We Are Six - A A Milne.

I am not in the UK, but the Geronimo Stilton series is massively popular here. I tried to buy some as a present when I was in the Uk last summer and was really surprised they weren't available in the shops. Readily available online. There are thousands of them!!

Avoid Horrid Henry at all costs! No redeeming features in my opinion!!

@HollyBen I’m not in the UK either, and books here are expensive and there’s not always the greatest range. But I did a tour of the book store today and we’re trying Mr Majeika, the next Mr Gum, The boy who grew dragons and Julius Zebra. Lots of the recommendations above weren’t in stock, unfortunately. Will add Geronimo Stilton to my list for my next visit! Thank you.
