My son is a keen reader but im running out of book series to keep him motivated, I welcome any ideas or suggestions.

He has read all the following:

Mr Gum series

Diary of a Wimpy Kid Series

Captin Underpants and whatever long winded titles follows

Most Roald Dahl books

Mr Stink

Horrid Henry ( he says he is to Old for any more of these)


We haev not gone down the Potter route as he gets a bit disheartened if he sees more than 300 pages. He has tried the Dragon Quest books but he was not that keen,I was hoping he might like the Famous five but the front covers look a bit old fashioned and I think this put him off.

Sadly a front cover can make or break a book purchase.


Boys are so hard to buy for in all aspects, shoes, clothes, coats, books, gamees etc I wonder if I would have this trouble if they were both girls?

My 7 year old son is reading the Lucy and Stephen Hawkings books about a kid called George who goes travelling in space - they're great, like Dr Who but aimed at 7+ and lots of educational stuff about physics and astronomy: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Georges-Secret-Universe-Lucy-Hawking/dp/055255958X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1347295557&sr=8-1

He's also just read this which he LOVED: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Great-Hamster-Massacre-Katie-Davies/dp/1847385958/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1347295686&sr=1-1 - The Great Hamster Massacre by Katie Davies (wife of Alan)

Please check our Google Reviews to speak for us: "We were really pleased with their quote, communication, and with having the job done perfectly with almost zero disruption. We think they left the space cleaner than when they arrived, and we are definitely already getting the effects of a warmer room" – Miriam & Abed, Sevenoaks, Oct 2025 "Laurence and his team were extremely polite & helpful, and the work was performed over just 2 days with minimal disruption. It was absolutely the most relaxed work I have ever had performed on the house!" – Alistair, Cambridge, July 2025 "Extremely friendly, polite and efficient" – Diane, Forest Hill, June 2025 We are always keen to chat through your floor insulation options and provide as much free advice as we can, as well as free quotes and surveys – so why not ask us today about what is possible to protect your floors from the cold ventilation air blowing underneath, keep your heat in and warm up your home? We use high-performance mineral wool slabs, never foam, for so many reasons: it is the ideal flexible material for the irregularities of old floors; is breathable, working with the way your floor has successfully performed for perhaps 100 years or more; can easily be removed to access pipes and cables; and is completely non-combustible. A local business based in Crystal Palace, we work extensively around Dulwich, Herne Hill, Forest Hill, Lewisham, Tooting, Balham and across the south East of England. Please ask us about your floor insulation options or for local project case studies today!

    • I would recommend the Dulwich Test and Service centre that used to be in Hindemanns road and then moved to the little Trading Estate off Tyrrel Road. I've used them very happily for nearly 40 years. Paul and Reg Shires. 
    • Such a shame as Dells is fantastic - a decent local business providing a great service to residents.
    • Ha ha that's hilarious - how wonderfully embarrassing for Reform!
