book suggestions please

[SkyBluePearl]

I have a 7 year old with a reading age of a 12 year old. We are struggling to find books suited to her reading age yet at the same time suitable for a 7 year old. Presently she likes typical boy books -anything slimey, silly or funny. Any ideas much appreciated.

Diary of a wimpy kid.

The Iron Man

Oscar Wilde SHort Stories

Anthony Horowitz: Groosham Grange and Diamond Detective Agency series

The "How to speak Dragonese" series

The Hobbit

excellent and thankyou! keep them coming girls! xx

My DCs always loved the Mr Majeika books

Have same case:

Dragonese series Big hit with DD as is Diary of a Wimpy kid.
Anything Roald Dahl including the book of verse
Watership down
The Railway children
The Little Princess
Anne of Greengables
Greeek Myths
Aesop fables
(all from puffin classics series )
Harry Potter
Inkheart series
Jacqueline Wilson
Narnia series
Micheal Morpungo series
Naughtiest girl series
Mallory Towers
World according to Humphrey ( and 2 others in the series)
Dead Famous series ( similar to horrible histories)
The Vet series ..cant recall the name but about the girl whose parents are vets
( something farm maybe??)

childrens abridged shakespeare series which she loved far more than I expected.

Roger McGough Poems
Childrens poetry books in general.

im also on the lookout for new reading so thanks for starting the thread :)

She really enjoyed the horrible histories series and roald dahl books.

Then maybe the dead famous would be good - Henry V111 etc
How about Limony snickett series , although honestly DD didnt like them ?

Artemis Fowl series by Eoin Colfer

Loads here - would add
Molly Moon series
Diana Wynne Jones - Chrestomanci series (some of her other books I would say are a little old in content)
Lionboy series by Zizou Corder

Just relooked at Dds books, Charlie Bone a current favourite.

Please don't forget Benjamin Zephaniah's poems and books. 'Face' is a must.

I don't have any links, but I've often noticed lists of books for young advanced readers on Amazon Listmania. Have a look there.

Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson books.

Michael Lawrence's Jiggy McCue books (e.g. The Toilet of Doom).

Horrible Science.

Horrid Henry.
