Wasn't sure where to post this really...

DD is an avid reader, she has been unwell for weeks with suspected long tail covid and one thing that has been good is her ability to read! Anyway she's gone through at least 20 books and I am running out of options.

She's 8 but reading age at least 9 maybe 10 really but obviously I also need the book to be suitable.

She has read most if not all of these already:

Harry Potter
David Walliams
Diary of Wimpy Kid
Tom gates
Enid Blyton
Roald Dhal
Michael Morpurgo (only kensukes kingdom and Kaspar)

Can anyone suggest any other good books or authors I can look at for her? I am looking for self reading so nothing too scary or i guess overly complicated as we would still read that with her. She also like humorous books or adventure tales.

@BikeRunSki I loved the Ramona books! I read them so many times when I was that age. I’ve still got a couple of them - gave them to my DD aged 9 to read - she wasn’t interested at all Sad

Just asked DS and he said Wizards of Once series or Christmasauras series.

DS has been thoroughly enjoying The Moomin series by Tove Jansson. It’s decades since I read them and I’d assumed they would probably be too young for a year 5. However, they have great humour, interesting themes and are a glimpse into a kindly fantasy world.

He also devoured The Boy who swam with Piranhas by David Almond and has now asked for Skellig, by the same author.

Maybe already mentioned but how to train a dragon series is amazing.

How about the How to Train Your Dragon series?
