| Hi! I'm looking for a recommendation for a Harry Potter like book, but that's appropriate for a 7 year old. My 7 yr old has read the first 3 books, but I don't think the scary/ murder content of the 4th book is appropriate just yet. Any book recommendations for a strong child reader? Thanks! |

Good suggestion. Lloyd Alexander’s Prydain Chronicles are great Maybe Gregor the Overlander |

That will desensitize the kid to murder, clearing the way for Harry Potter. |

| Thank you all for so many great suggestions! My child said he didn't like the wings of fire. I remember reading Bruce Coville when I was a kid. Can't wait to take him to the library. |

The Dark is Rising series by Susan Cooper (confusingly the first book is called Over Sea, Under Stone and the second book is The Dark is Rising)
