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)

    • Legal matters are notoriously slow.  There is no rule that communication has to be via email, fax or letter. If the issue is that you want to claim damages to the property because of poor practice, you would have to lodge a complaint with the ombudsman, but surely the one to suffer the most is the “gold digger” beneficiary?    If that is not the wrong that needs righting, what is?

    • I got in a right tizz last night, thinking 'this fireworks business is worse than ever tonight, it's outrageous!' ....then realised what date it was... We gave Kalms to the mutt, thanks to Angelina's advice. It's hard to tell after just one night if they work, but I'll definitely try them again, as I'm sure a few people still have a few bangers left over.  Did anyone see the coverage of the scenes in Liverpool and Birmingham? I wonder if this might lead councils to finally clamp down on sales.
