Books!

[lea m]

I hope someone can help, Im looking for a collection of books to buy for my oldest son (who is 9)
I cant think of any except Harry Potter lol and he has all them!? Does anyone know of a series of books that he should like!?

 

[mum's the word]

Roald Dahl box set is great, my eldest LOVES them and I often hear him chuckling away in evenings!

Lemony snickett
Spiderwick

are all firm faves with my DS (he reads alot)

I've read some excellent reviews for The Graveyard Book. It will be a series if it's not already (it's the first one)

Or how about the timeless classics? The Narnia Chronicles or Lord of the Rings?

Here's another vote for His Dark Materials. It's brilliantly written and certainly the stuff of timeless classics.

OOOH thanks ladies!!

I will have to google His dark materials! Not heard of that one!?

The author is Philip Pullman, it is a trilogy (although there are a few little extra books that are fab for fans) The Golden compass, Subtle knife and amber spy glass

Ooohhh they are soo good may have to read again!

Minxy that looks great! (I will have to read that one hahaha) Im going to order it for him!

I might even get my second son the Roald Dahl ones and they can swap rather then just get them all Joseph!
