A great book series to give a 9 yo boy

[Wallcalendar]

Who loves beasts/dragons magic that sort of thing (not Harry Potter). SOOOOO stuck please help!

Charlie Bone series?

D's got onto Skullduggery Pleasant at that age. They can be quite dark though and the later ones in the series are aimed at progressively older kids. I think it starts aimed at age 9 and progresses up to age 13 as the fan bases would have gotten older as they were released.

Percy Jackson?

terry pratchett does some really good books and the hobbit

It's not that theme, but my son loves harry potter etc, and he really enjoyed the Alex Rider series here linky, they are considered quite cool by that age group, allegedly!

Or this perhaps- my son was really impressed with this Dragonology

How to train your dragon series?

How to Train Your Dragon. Ds3 is 9 and is on book 7. He loves the series.

Would Discworld be the right terry prachett? Are Alex Rider and Percy Jackdon a bit 'cool'? DS is a (his words not mine!!) 'weird guy'

Fighting fantasy series

The hobbit? My son read it at 9/10 then started on the lord of the rings straight after. He's on his second read through now

Artemis Fowl!

The Wings of Fire Series - Tui T Sutherland.

DS(9) loves them.

This is a bit older, but my 9 year old is on the second book and is enjoying it.

Came here to say Skulldugery Pleasant. Were the only books DS would read when he was younger

Beastquest series, my similar aged ds loves them

The chronicles of narnia

David Edding: The Belgariad

About a peasant boy who is secretly a hidden prince with magical powers and needs to be trained in those abilities and then go save the world.

Great storytelling with light political intrigue. I devoured it as an 9-10 year old.
