   I finished reading the Hobbit with my 7yo, he loved it. Anyone have a recommendation for kid friendly scifi or fantasy, most stuff I know is not friendly enough.

     @ngons Wings of Fire. I cannot recommend this series enough - all 18 books. The first two books are good, but it starts getting *great* at the third book.

     My kid also really likes the "Fart Quest" humorous D&D style series

     @ngons I'll also recommend both of WoF author Tui Sutherland's other series, _The Menagerie_ which is sort of present-day fantasy, and _Pet Trouble_, which is more of a "kids going about their everyday lives" kinda thing, but I was blown away by the quality & themes of all her work

     @RobHadley @ngons I reread that one recently; not sure I’d read it to my 8y/o, but I have read them both “The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents” and the first three of the Tiffany Aching subseries (Wee Free Men, Hat Full of Sky, and Wintersmith) and would recommend those (last two TA books “I Shall Wear Midnight” and “Shepherd’s Crown” get more into YA themes)
