How about the Half Magic series? I remember reading part of it when I was younger, and if he's a Harry Potter fan he'd probably like them. They're light and fun and great for someone his age. I think the author is Edward Eager.
In a few years, he could also read the Redwall series. They're great; you can read them to him and you'll both enjoy it, and after a while he'll be able to pick them up on his own.
Yes, definately the Lion, Witch, and the Warthog. Then you can take him to see the movie after he read the first book!
the dark elf triology for starters by R.A. Salvator is very much like lord of the rings. IT is the story of and elf that is outcast of his society underground. He is a massively trained for combat and has a magic panther. Plus there are more in the series it will keep him reading for quite a while. And the Land of Elyon series is kinda like harry potter. Magic a 12 heroine and talking animals.
wonderful satire...
written by national lampoon harvard press or something....
it seems as though Destany has stopped taking suggestions, but in case you are, here are two more:
The Stone and the Maiden
The Mask and the Sorceress
The first does have some sexual conotations in it, but only a paragraph. The paragraph doesn't contribute to the story at all, so it would acutally be good to just blot it out completely. It's not that explicit, but it's not relevant.
`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
If you're still taking suggestions, then I recommend the Bartimaeus Trilogy. It might be a bit long for an 8 year old(Maybe? I dunno) But it isn't that hard to understand as long as he pays attention to the words. It's pretty funny and cool
