Anyone have suggestions for a 10 year old who likes comic mischief? He's a huge fan of diary of a wimpy kid series but his reading level has moved beyond that. He's also really enjoyed the wild robot series, Matilda, and the skunk and fox books.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: thank you all for your great recommendations. I'm going to check them all out with him tonight!

The Pilkey books are more of his favorites but he's read them all several times now and I think his reading level is ready for the next step. We'll check out the other ones you mentioned thanks a ton!

You betcha. Mine are in the reading level yours is leaving, but we've just started with my old Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys/Tom Swift/ Boxcar Children and so far they're interested.

Heck, how about The Animorphs? There's a /c/ on here for it somewhere.
