There seems to be a huge range of books for 6 year old girls to read, but very little for boys, if you don't like Horrid Henry and Captain Underpants. ANyone got any suggestions?

Can recommend the Book People (cheap books, often in series, and give age guidelines). They have both fiction and non-fiction. Sometimes by authors you haven't heard of but I've never had any rubbish from them. AND have saved a fortune (great for bd presents also) And no, I don't work for them, but feel like I have shares in the company the amount I have spent with them over the years! www.thebookpeople.co.uk

I can recommend Geronimo Stilton books - my DS(nearly 7) thinks they're fab.

Boys Rule series.

Let your boy roam in the library and he'll probably find stuff he likes -- doesn't hurt to ask librarian for pointers, too.

DS is 7 and I have no trouble finding books for him in library (?)
