I think the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boy books would do fab on this list ☺️

The first book in both series is already on the list! Thanks for the suggestion though ☺️ Nancy Drew was my favorite growing up!

OMG I swear I looked, but I was looking for the iconic yellow and blue bands across the top which aren’t on the first books. Sorry!!

It’s okay, it’s a long list and definitely hard to spot without those iconic covers 😁

Thank you for this list 😊 We've already been thinking about how we can support our son becoming a reader and good books help a lot!

Hope he finds some books he loves ☺️
