I have an 8 year old boy that plowed through The Magic Treehouse and really enjoyed it. We moved into the Wings of Fire series because he had a friend reading it, but my kiddo finds the dark inner dialogue in book 6 a bit too disturbing. He really outs himself into the characters and does not like the dark side. He has read most of, if not the entire series of:
The Magic Treehouse
Dogman
Horrible Harry
Big Nate
My weird school
Judy Moody / Stink
Junie B Jones
Note: even some Encyclopedia Brown were not to his liking because there were naughty or mean kids.
He has a soft heart, but needs books that will occupy him for days and not an hour.
I could use help finding a new series that is in the Wings of Fire reading level, but not "scary" or "unpleasant".

The Menagerie Series by Tui T Sutherland. A lonely kid finds a secret zoo of magical creatures.
Have you tried the Zoe and Sassafras series? They aren’t that long but there are ten of them. A girl and her cat use science to heal the magical animals around her house.
My nephew liked Dragonmasters series and the Dragon Girls series, but they might be a bit younger than Wings of Fire?
**Captain Underpants?**
**The A to Z Mysteries**
author **Beverly Cleary**
