It's a tricky business finding the perfect book to hand children aged 7 and 8. They're mostly independent readers, but they're still developing their vocabulary, fluency and comprehension skills. They are also starting to use other media, explore new hobbies and tackle school friendships and the complexities that come with getting older.
Books about adventures are a great way to not only keep developing those reading skills, but also growing a lifelong passion for stories. If you want your 7- or 8-year old on the edge of their seat, turning page after page, you will need epic journeys, heists, chases, found family and high-octane endings!
So with this in mind, and with no further ado, here are some of our top-rated adventure series to get you started. Series are a brilliant tool to keep your reader engaged in the story as they grow attached to the characters and understand the world, and they stick with us for life.
