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)

    • I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.   
    • I wouldn't feel too bad about that. It's one of the few degree areas that you can do a BA or a BSc in, so it's a fairly wide-ranging and complex subject. Certainly Truss, Kwasi and Reeves seem to struggle with it.
    • I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided. 
    • does either of them have a surgery? probably not over summer, but I thought they had to give the opportunity for their constituents to meet them.
