Need some book ideas for ds1

[TheLadyEvenstar]

he is 10 but his reading age is much higher...

he has read
the young james bond,
harry potter
lord of the rings
many factual books
george orwell

in fact too many to even remember. Now he is bored with the books he has as he has read them. Any ideas?

John Wyndham - I really liked them as a teenager (had a box set - chocky, DAy of the Triffids, Chrysalids ets) but given he has a high reading age he might like them?

Kevin Crossley Holland
Michael Morpurgo
Douglas Adams- Hitchhiker's Guide
Gerald Durrell
William Price

the Alex Rider books by Anthony Horowitz

Kathy he read them last year or year before

Scarlet I will give them a try

Barbaria, he loves michael morpurgo and will give others a go too

thanks!!!

Sherlock Holmes.

If he liked Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings he might like Th White's The Once and Future King. It would suit a child with an advanced reading age but the subject matter is not as dark as more modern teen books. It's quite funny actually

Try him with Great Expectations?

And HG Wells - maybe start with The Time Machine (think that's the title)

Philip Pullman - His Dark Materials?

I liked John Wyndham too, and Gerald Durrell. The latter is probably a better bet if he is a 'worrier', though!

Eragon (and its sequels)?

Percy Jackson series?

Tunnels?

Holes?

Oh you ladies are great thankyou!!!!!

Ursula Le Guin - The Wizard of Earthsea trilogy.

You could also try:

Michelle Paver's 'Wolf Brother' series
Cornelia Funke's 'Inkheart' series
Philip Reeve 'Mortal Engines' etc

William Nicolson 'Windsong'

Alan Garner - 'The Weirdstone of Brisingamen', and 'The Owl Service'
Susan Cooper's 'The Dark is Rising' series
Rosemary Sutcliff - 'The Eagle of the Ninth',
'The Silver Branch' and 'The Lantern Bearers'
Leon Garfield - 'Smith', 'Black Jack' and 'Devil-in-the-Fog'
Might be worth trying Agatha Christie and some of the Roald Dahl short stories?
