Chapter book for a 10 year old

"A great introductory chapter book for a young man I babysit - the pictures keep him interested while the story makes for the start of a good series - who knows, maybe he will start keeping a diary."

Hoping the next generation loves to read as much as I do.

"I bought this book for my grandson as a Christmas gift , so he hasn’t read it yet. He wanted to start a new series and have always told him if you ever want a book ask grandma as I love to read and want to instil this love of reading in him . I hope he enjoys it and will want grandma to get the rest of the series."
