We recently read Ra the Mighty: Cat Detective and my son LOVED it! He said he wants to read more mysteries, which is new. We did Ra as a read aloud, but he could probably read it on his own. (We will be doing the other books in the series as read alouds also).
He loves animals, so anything with animals in it would be a bonus. Not sure exactly what his reading level is, but it’s advanced for 8. Nothing too mature content wise though.
