Looking for age appropriate books for an advanced 9 year old reader.?

I see that Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson series has been mentioned. This has been high in demand among the high readers in my son's fourth grade class as well as almost all the children in my daughter's sixth grade class. My daughter has just started his new series which appears to be based on Egyptian Gods.

Savvy by Ingrid Law was really good and is on the AR scale at around 6.0. We are eagerly looking forward to the follow up, Scumble, that is due out in August.

The Mysterious Benedict Society has also been mentioned. This book is currently a three book series. My daughter has read them on her own and loved them. I have read books one and two aloud to the nine year old who also enjoyed them.

Someone else has mentioned another of our favorites -- Terry Pratchett. My children have most of the books he has written that are intended for children. The Tiffany Aching series -- Wee Free Men, A Hat Full of Sky, and Wintersmith -- were so well written that we felt a little lost when we finished the last one. We followed that up with The Bromeliad Trilogy and enjoyed it equally as much. My daughter read The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents. We have Nation in our stack to read. I will say that we did not care for the series that begins with Johnny and the Bomb as well as we liked the others.

Interspersed with our regular stack of books, we have found ourselves reading The 39 Clues. My son loves the adventure and solving the clues hidden in each book. The cards are just an added bonus. If you follow the website, there are many activities to follow up on the history and geography included in each book. However, there are some drawbacks. The books are written at fourth to low fifth grade level, fairly short books, issued only in hardback, and they come with cards.

Last spring my children both read Pond Scum by Alan Silberberg and loved the adventure and fantasy involved. I will say that we read it together and were all a little disappointed by the ending. After such high adventure, it left off a little soft.

Horns & Wrinkles by Joseph Helgersen was another fantasy that my was chosen by my children. We read that one aloud and have recommended it frequently.

The Underneath by Kathi Appelt is in our stack to read between now and the start of school next year.

If you utilize the AR book finder website as a parent, you can use the advanced search to locate books that interest your son. The website will let you narrow your search down to reading level, interest level, and subject. The nice thing about this is that by utilizing the interest level, you can eliminate the books that are written at higher levels that contain questionable material. However, as the parent you should do a little research on the books. I have found that there are some classics that have been categorized as UG, or upper grade, simply because they contain material that is not considered suitable by current standards.

You'll struggle to find things as good as probably the best kids series written in the past 30 years...

It does depend on your definition of "age appropriate". My son loves the Alex Rider books...but they are intended for slightly older children. People die in them and there is violence.

The Percy Jackson books are basically a clone of the HP idea, except with Greek godly powers in place of magic. Don't let that put you off - they are great fun.

Michelle Paver's Chronicles of Ancient Darkness series is excellent.

Eoin Colfer's Artemis Fowl series is a favourite of my son's (though I'm not a huge fan) and he also loves the Edge Chronicles and the Mortal Engines series.

You might also be better off looking at older childrens books (I mean books written longer ago) when it wouldn't have been acceptable to have a lot of things in books intended for older children which you'd have in them now. Try Susan Cooper's The Dark is Rising series. The Hobbit - maybe even Lord of the Rings if he's a really advanced reader. The Narnia books. Swallows and Amazons.

My 10 year old loves Terry Pratchett's Discworld series. Occasional innuendo but no more than that. They are intended for adults, so I'm taking you at your word on "advanced" :)

Lemony Snickett...bleargh. Fun for a while, but it's all the same, and the tiny number of words per page mean that what you think is quite a long book is actually barely more than a short story. IMO aimed at older poor readers rather than younger good ones. Judy Blume my son read when he was about five. Really not for an advanced 9 year old.

The Babysitter's club - I used to love these when I was younger, I had lots of them. The title pretty much explains it - it's about a group of girl's who run a baysitter's club and you get lots of different stories all about each of them. Spooksville or Goosebumps books - Again loved these, they're creepy but not scary or anything. Jacqueline Wilson books especially The Lottie Project, Double Act, The Illustrated Mum and The Bed and Breakfast Star. They're all really good stories and I think they deal with things that younger people go through without being too adult. Garth Nix is also really good I think for younger readers probably the Keys to the Kingdom series that starts with Mister Monday. The Artemis Fowl books by Eoin Colfer - it's got faeries and things and is a good fantasy series. The Wish List is also good.

Children Learning Reading is different from different programs since it generally does not depend on training words by view, a method that relies on kids recognizing and memorizing words by their content and structure.

With Children Learning Reading your child will only have to spend 5\15 minutes at time and he\she will discover ways to build the word creating the complete means of understanding how to read much more effectively.

Hehe, he sounds like me when I was a kid! For books, I recommend the Percy Jackson series, The Bartimaeus Trilogy, the Chronicles of Narnia, & the Trolls Trilogy by Nancy Farmer.
