I’ve got a (9 yr old) kid that loves the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. But it’s terrible. The main character is a terrible friend, and a poor role model. The character frequently calls people stupid or morons, makes fun of kids outside the norm, and has weird 90s views of how boys and girls interact.
Can anyone suggest a series that their kid enjoyed for a similar audience? Even better if there are lots of them.


A place to talk about parenting.
Be respectful of others’ parenting decisions.

The Notebook of Doom - good series, there is a short spin-off, but I don’t remember the name. A little spooky at the start, but should be ok for 9yr old
The Alien Next Door - okay story. Not a long series, but fun enough
Magic Treehouse - pretty sure you know this one, but I haven’t seen anyone mention it on this post
Thanks for the suggestions, I’ve put them on the list!
Another vote for the magic tree house from our kids
