Diary of a wimpy kid

[MillyR]

DS is 11 and has never had any interest in reading, although his spelling and comprehension ages are fine. He has just got Diary of a Wimpy Kid and has read it in a day. We then got the others in the series and he has not stopped reading them.

I am desperate for this to continue. Has anyone any recommendations for other books?

I think the key is that he likes books that are slightly rebellious and naughty. He doesn't like imaginative books about other worlds (Artemis Fowl and so on).

I would be really appreciative of any reccomendations.

spydog?

Cosmic?

Mr Gum by Andy Stanton - anarchic, inventive, and good on many levels

I am guessing he is too old for Horrid Henry and Captain Underpants now...

Alex Rider? there's loads of them now and ds thinks they're very cool ...

Thanks for all of your ideas. We have the Alex ones on talking books. I am going to get him a Mr Gum and see if he like those. I am thinking they might be a bit vile, but comical in a slightly rebellious way, like an older Captain Underpants, which I think would suit DS.
