Books for 8 year old boys

I put a call out on the Actually Amy facebook page recently to try and find some books for C to read. He doesn't particularly like reading, but it's something that I would like to encourage him to do more of.

Anyway, I received many great recommendations snd it reminded me of some authors names that I just couldn't for the life of me remember.

• Zac Powers series
• 52 Storey Treehouse
• 13 Storey Treehouse
• Percy Jackson series
• Artimus Fowl 
• Tom Gates series
• WeirDo series
• Goosebumps Series
• Any book ever written by Paul Jennings

Are there anymore books you would add to the list?
