Any book recommendations for a 10 year old boy?

I don't know what he's into we usually buy toys but sense he's growing up so what to give a nice fun age appropriate book that he can read over Christmas.

Thanks in advance.

My son (8) is all into the Harry Potter books atm but I have looked at getting him the percy Jackson book set maybe next year. David walliams is a good hit as well x

May be a little young for him but my son loves the christmasaurus books.

The Wizard in my Shed by Simon Farnaby. It's a really funny book. My DC loved and so did I. It's great for any Horrible Histories or fans of Ghosts.
I think there might be a sequel now too.

Comic books?
Amulet -for adventure
Bad Guys - for very funny
Corpse Talk - for funny & historical
Science Comics have all sorts of brilliant topics

Any of the Ross Welford books . My son loves them

The Miracle on Ebenezer Street or The Night I Met Father Christmas

Percy Jackson books are all good fun

Look at Ross MacKenzie's Nowhere Emporium it's brilliant. He has done 3 in the series as well as other books.

Rooftoppers by Katerine Rundell is good too.

At that age my boys loved the captain underpants books.
Toilet humour seems to be very popular when you are 10.

I agree, anything to do with farting or pooing seems to appeal at that age.

Thanks for all the suggestions! Will have a good browse of these titles at the weekend as I try to blitz getting presents for everyone in one afternoonConfused

Oh Simon Farnby is the guy from Ghosts! I didn't know he wrote children's books.

Who Let the Gods Out series is fab. Very funny, bit of ancient Greek God legend with modern child and a good adventure.
