Books for children

hello gransnet havent spoken before just watched.
now looking for books for my nearly 11 yr old grandson in isolation at his home on Dartmoor

For the boys - Stig of the Dump and Iron Man .

“the Indian in the cupboard “

I absolutely loved reading those books to my children, Lucca

Also Tom's Midnight Garden was one of my favourites as a child and my children have now read it to theirs

David Walliams writes some funny books that the boys, ( 11 and 9), in my family adore, but nothing remotely semi-classic about those!

Oh and if they're enjoying Goodnight Mr. Tom, they may like Carries' War by Nina Bawden.

My boys lovEd “the Indian in the cupboard “ by lynne Reid banks. I guess by rights it should be the Native American in the cupboard. Very well written too so not annoying for you to read. That’s the first of I think four. I just ordered a new copy, today I read bedtime stories to my GC in Sydney via FaceTime and then we all had a group virtual hug.

Oh yes Heidi Lucky. I used to read the Raold Dahl books too, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory etc. I am very keen on AA Milne also.

I loved Heidi as a child.
What about The Railway Children or Treasure Island.
