    Hi Everyone,
    I’m searching for some titles for my 10 year old. He has read lots of Roald Dahl, Judy Blume, the first three Harry Potter books (doesn’t seem to like the fourth book as much), just finished A Cricket in Times Square and Mr. Popper’s Penguins. He loves this series called Diary of a Minecraft Zombie. Aside from Harry Potter, he reads these books super fast, in like 2 sittings. What other books might he like that would be a bit more challenging to read? I think he might enjoy some sci-fi titles but I’m not very familiar with that genre. Thanks for your help!

      Has he read [Nevermoor](https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/6a6d5ca1-b2f5-47be-828c-018144d3bbc7) by Jessica Townsend? It’s my favorite series, and he’s the perfect age for it! It’s a bit more advanced than the earliest Harry Potter books, but targeted towards the same age group, and it’s really immersive and super engaging.

      As for sci-fi, [Sal and Gabi Break the Universe](https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/e2983156-c0df-4398-9a26-773e9f49b369) by Carlos Hernandez is another favorite of mine, so I definitely recommend it as well.
