DS (Y3, 7) has been an incredibly reluctant reader. He has suddenly clicked with the two Yule-1 books by Kate Saunders and even stayed up to try to read a chapter himself. So I am desperately looking for any fiction books of a similar simplicity to read but which feel exciting and grown up and have a compelling enough story (and some picture to break up text ideally).
I think that I have bought, and he has rejected/asked me to read to him, most obvious series but I would be very grateful for any ideas. I would love him to love books and this really is the first that is the Goldilocks combo of engaging story and easy enough to read. Thank you!
