Hi everyone

For years it was a struggle to get DS to read at home. It became a battle ground at one point, but over the last 12 months, he has really found a love for reading. He got into the Diary of a Wimpy kid series and has recently read all of David Walliams books.

Suggestions for further reading would be very much appreciated.

He likes books that make him laugh, he loves football, but doesn't like anything mythical. He is a 4a in reading, so doesn't struggle with it.

Thanks
