Books for 9 year old DGS - help

Just a ps - I have read odd chapters of David Walliams' 'Grandpa's Great Escape' with GS, and it is very funny. He has promised to lend it to me when he's finished it!

Diamond Brothers was one of the ones I couldn't bring to mind and I bought those for him just before Christmas. (Getting worse! Put a jar of pickles in the dishwasher this morning instead of the fridge!!).

I would suggest The Diamond Brothers series by Anthony Horowitz.You can buy in a boxed set of 7 books from Amazon.My 2 older grandsons both loved these books at a similar age.

I believe the Malorie Blackman and Michael Murporgo books are good - I think they write for different age groups so you would need to check the suggested age range.

My son enjoyed Watership Down - many others but I can't remember.

My grandson enjoyed Goodnight Mr Tom, Skellig and Holes.

I think I've recommended www.lovereading4kids.co.uk/ before but have no hesitation in doing so again. There are reviews by children which might give you an idea of the kind of things your GS would like. You can find books for his age range. Does he like Horrible Histories?

Our GS is just nine. He likes the Alex Ryder books, The Roman Mysteries collection by Caroline Lawrence, and books by Ali Sparkes. Oh, and the Beast Quest books (his favourites). He has lots of others but I can't bring them to mind at the moment!
