Best books for 8 year old boy.

[headlock]

Hi, I'm looking for recommendations for books for my 8 year old.
He loves Tom Gates and James Patterson books. Also the Dogman books. Typical 8 year old humour. Thanks.

Mr Gum series by Andy Stanton. First one is "You're a bad man, Mr Gum". Utterly brilliant

Mine loved flat Stanley (his absolute favourite), diary of a wimpy kid, David Walliams and roahl Dahl. He also liked books written about sports he was into. My dd loved the battersea dogs home stories if he likes animals.

Toto the Ninja Cat
Anything written by Pamela Butchart e.g. The Spy Who Loved School Dinners
Kid Normal
The Accidental Prime Minister by Tom McClaughlin
The 13 Storey Treehouse
The Boy Who Grew Dragons
Doctor Proctor's Fart Powder
Radio Boy
I Swapped My Brother On The Internet
The Super Miraculous Journey of Freddie Yates
Charlie Changes Into a Chicken

Thanks very much for these suggestions. Looked some up last night and they look perfect! Thank you.
