I'm 100% trying this on my 9-year-old next time he tells me he's bored. It'll be a gentle smack, of course...

I suggest Redwall. It’s short, it’s awesome. If it’s not a hard cover copy it shouldn’t hurt too much.

My experience with those was that they proved formulaic and repetitive after a time, but the first few were good. They did have problems with shallow characterisations, though, at least to me.
