    My sons (8) love Artemis Fowl books. A character dies in "The Opal Deception", but I didn't find that it was handled in a manner that would be upsetting to many.

    They are also very much enjoying "The Lightning Thief" series by Rick Riordan.

    Digging this thread out for ideas.

    DS7 is in love with the Artemis Fowl series. He's 2 books away from the end and I'm wondering what to get for him after this.

    He's sensitive, so Harry Potter won't do. He's worried by the cover of the Lightning Thief series so he hasn't taken to it either. I haven't read the Artemis books myself but he says he loves the wicked humour compounded with the high tech, science-y feel of the books.

    Any suggestions? Is Septimus Heap and Tamora Pierce in the same vein?

    DS9 read all the Septimus Heap books at 7. He loved them and I don't recall there being anything too intense.
