) so I'm planning to give him Song of the Trumpet (5/6). However, my 9 yo I'd like to have in level 4/5 but am having trouble picking a book for him. He has already read Little Pilgrim's Progress (just last year for school, narrated and everything) and any of the ones from the Optional Book List from DITHOR that I actually recognize he has also read. The others I don't recognize and don't know if I can get at the local library. I would love to use a book from here but did not purchase the full Level 4 set as I had so much more to purchase this year (3 guides for 4 students plus ERs & extra guide plus DITHOR packages for the other 2. . .) so I know I've kind of got myself into this corner.
And we're supposed to start the next genre on Thursday.One book I remember loving as a child is Enid Blyton's The Enchanted Wood, but haven't looked at it again from a parent's perspective. Any thoughts on that one?
I'd also wondered about The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe but I think that's a bit heavier reading than I want to assign him right now.
He's only 9, when considering maturity, but is handling CTC quite well so far and has an advanced reading level.
Fantasy's not my strong suit (The Enchanted Wood is the only one I remember liking before the Hobbit in Grade 10!) so any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated.
Blessings,

And thanks for your input on TEW.
