Boy or girl?
It shouldn’t really matter should it ? So old fashioned to think books have to be gender specific
Boy, but yes, I chose not to specify
Pendragon: Journal of an Adventure through Time and Space https://g.co/kgs/Ei9U6z
100 Cupboards by N.D. Wilson
Escape from Mr. Lemoncello’s Library, Mysterious Benedict Society, The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place, Peter and the Starcatchers, Michael Vey
Gregor the Overlander, City of Ember, The Golden Compass
Great list. My kids loved all those in Syntha’s first post. I would add anything by Wendy Mass–esp the Candymakers.
@Beret thanks!
Nancy Drew and The Hardy Boys are both great. The Chronicles of Narnia. Goosebumps too!
Alex Rider series
Hatchet, Woods Runner
Anything by Rick Riordan Swindle series Gordon Korman. Scar Island. Ms. Bixby’s Last Day. Towers Falling.
Encyclopedia Brown
The series of unfortunate events is great for that age !
Enid Blyton’s “The Five Find Outers” – much better mysteries than the Famous Five books!
The Three Investigators were always good value too.
The old “Choose Your Own Adventure” series can be great for younger readers too (Who Killed Harlowe Thrombey” is ace).
Encyclopedia Brown used to be fun – much shorter stories, though.
Swallows and Amazons! Professor Brainstawm!
