He was staying up late, he was reading in the car, he was picking reading over screen time, it was amazing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/series-similar-to-wimpy-kid#post-2928423 Tue, 30 Jan 2024 17:34:40 +0000 SteelerGirl 2928423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 7 yo is obsessed with the Wayside School series. Her entire class has been listening to her teacher read them aloud over the course of the school year and they all love them. She also loves Dragon Masters, as someone else suggested. And Magic Treehouse. She really enjoys listening to audiobooks before she falls asleep each night. Maybe give that a try and see if it translates to actual reading. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/series-similar-to-wimpy-kid#post-2928422 Thu, 25 Jan 2024 23:24:14 +0000 Miss Ariel 2928422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In second grade The Amulet graphic novels were one of the first series my daughter really got into. (Plus the final book is about to come out!) She now really loves the I Survived books. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/series-similar-to-wimpy-kid#post-2928384 Tue, 14 Nov 2023 21:54:19 +0000 JennyPenny 2928384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son loved all the series mentioned here already, so I agree with all those recommendations. He also liked Real Pigeons and Zita the Spacegirl. One other thing I’ll add is Percy Jackson was the series that helped my son branch out from graphic novels. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/series-similar-to-wimpy-kid#post-2928382 Mon, 13 Nov 2023 14:34:20 +0000 erinbaderin 2928382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dragon Masters? Hilo and Bad Guys are more graphic novels but might be good, Hilo in particular is WONDERFUL. The Wild Robot has three books, and they were hugely popular with my 2nd and 4th graders. Notebook of Doom and Eerie Elementary series? Oooh, and Mac B Kid Spy is great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/series-similar-to-wimpy-kid#post-2928380 Sun, 12 Nov 2023 16:05:44 +0000 LadyDi 2928380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@togetherthroughlife: We have not!

Other than Dog Man this is the first book series that he's really taken to and he wants to read all of the time. I love it that he's so into the books but he's going to plow through them pretty quickly. What are some similar books? I am looking more for chapter books than graphic novels. </p>
