9 year old likes Mysteries but has outgrown Enid Blyton...

...whereas i think Agatha Christie would be too hard for him, even though he's a pretty good reader.

Nothing too rubbishy, please.

Any suggestions?

Philip Pullman?

hardy boys (it's not rubbish honest, I loved them as a pre-teen)

Lots of 9-yr-old boys like these.

These are great ideas and I'm going to go the library and look for all of these books. (Except the Philip Pullmans, which he has, but which seem too advanced for him still, maybe.)

I wonder if Marina is around. I think she posted last night that her 9-year-old was reading Murder on The Nile? I wonder what books he read before A.C.
