DS loves Diary of a Wimpy Kid too, the illustrated pages keep him happy too.  He seems to prefer the old fashioned stories what I read as a child.  He is reading The Fib and other stories by George Layton, I loved it as little girl.  He is also reading the Turbulent term of Tyke Tyler, remember that?  He loves Harry Potter and the Adrian Mole books.  DD loves all the Julia Donaldson books and anything a bit spooky.

the Turbulent term of Tyke Tyler, remember that?

I do actually! Trouble is, the only thing about it I remember is the twist at the end, which kinda kills the thrill of a reread

Let me know what he thinks of the end of the book, I remember being really surprised, even now, some 25-30 years on!
