Now they&#8217;re the one begging for a trunk and a lacrosse stick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then they finish the lot, ask what&#8217;s next, and you hit the obvious problem. Enid Blyton isn&#8217;t writing any more of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So here are the books like Malory Towers I&#8217;d hand over next. Boarding schools, midnight feasts, friendship fallouts that get fixed, and a couple of clever swaps for when the classics run dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re stocking up more widely for this age, my <a href=\"\/littlereads\/books-for-9-year-olds\/\">books for 9 year olds<\/a> page is the place to rummage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So who is this list for?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The child who would pack a trunk for boarding school tomorrow if you let them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The one who reads the midnight feast chapters and immediately starts planning one.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The reader who loves a school story where the naughtiness is wholesome and everyone comes right by the last chapter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s the 8 to 11 year old these picks are for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Start with the obvious one<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Twins at St Clare&#8217;s by Enid Blyton<\/h3>\n\n\n<a class=\"lr-bookpill\" href=\"https:\/\/readingmate.co.uk\/littlereads\/our-library\/the-twins-at-st-clares\/\" aria-label=\"View The Twins at St Clare&#8217;s in the library\"><div class=\"lr-bookpill__cover\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"189\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/readingmate.co.uk\/littlereads\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ebookupload-1661253343297-189x300.jpeg\" class=\"lr-bookpill__cover-img\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/readingmate.co.uk\/littlereads\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ebookupload-1661253343297-189x300.jpeg 189w, https:\/\/readingmate.co.uk\/littlereads\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ebookupload-1661253343297.jpeg 314w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 189px) 100vw, 189px\" \/><\/div><div class=\"lr-bookpill__body\"><p class=\"lr-bookpill__title\">The Twins at St Clare&#8217;s<\/p><div class=\"lr-bookpill__meta\"><span>Enid Blyton<\/span><span class=\"lr-bookpill__meta-dot\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><span>Age 9<\/span><span class=\"lr-bookpill__meta-dot\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><span>Friendship<\/span><\/div><\/div><span class=\"lr-bookpill__chev\" aria-hidden=\"true\">&rsaquo;<\/span><\/a>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, it&#8217;s more Blyton, and yes, it&#8217;s exactly where I&#8217;d start.

St Clare&#8217;s has other ideas, and the twins are the ones in for a shock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Same dorms, same tricks, same trouble.

Sara stays kind and unspoiled through all of it, which turns out to matter enormously when her luck changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The language is more old-fashioned than Blyton&#8217;s, so it suits a confident reader. But the boarding school detail is glorious, and Sara is a heroine worth meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Worst Witch All at Sea by Jill Murphy<\/h3>\n\n\n<a class=\"lr-bookpill\" href=\"https:\/\/readingmate.co.uk\/littlereads\/our-library\/the-worst-witch-all-at-sea\/\" aria-label=\"View The Worst Witch All At Sea in the library\"><div class=\"lr-bookpill__cover\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"219\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/readingmate.co.uk\/littlereads\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ebookupload-1659686308080-219x300.jpeg\" class=\"lr-bookpill__cover-img\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/readingmate.co.uk\/littlereads\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ebookupload-1659686308080-219x300.jpeg 219w, https:\/\/readingmate.co.uk\/littlereads\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ebookupload-1659686308080.jpeg 353w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 219px) 100vw, 219px\" \/><\/div><div class=\"lr-bookpill__body\"><p class=\"lr-bookpill__title\">The Worst Witch All At Sea<\/p><div class=\"lr-bookpill__meta\"><span>Jill Murphy<\/span><span class=\"lr-bookpill__meta-dot\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><span>Age 7<\/span><span class=\"lr-bookpill__meta-dot\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><span>Magic<\/span><\/div><\/div><span class=\"lr-bookpill__chev\" aria-hidden=\"true\">&rsaquo;<\/span><\/a>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Boarding school, but with broomsticks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mildred Hubble, the worst witch at Miss Cackle&#8217;s Academy, can&#8217;t bear to leave her beloved cat Tabby behind when the class goes to the seaside for a week.

Literally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These sit a touch younger than Malory Towers, so they&#8217;re a snug fit for the 8 year old end, or as a comfort read for anyone.

She&#8217;s been coming to camp for three years, and so have her brothers. All of her brothers. That used to feel cool, and lately it really doesn&#8217;t, and Jenna is keeping a secret of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Modern and chatty where Blyton is vintage, which makes it a good bridge for a child who wants the away-from-home fun in this-century clothes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hetty and the Battle of the Books by Anna James<\/h3>\n\n\n<a class=\"lr-bookpill\" href=\"https:\/\/readingmate.co.uk\/littlereads\/our-library\/hetty-and-the-battle-of-the-books\/\" aria-label=\"View Hetty and the Battle of the Books in the library\"><div class=\"lr-bookpill__cover\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"197\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/readingmate.co.uk\/littlereads\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1737630231_6792221788861-197x300.jpg\" class=\"lr-bookpill__cover-img\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/readingmate.co.uk\/littlereads\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1737630231_6792221788861-197x300.jpg 197w, https:\/\/readingmate.co.uk\/littlereads\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1737630231_6792221788861.jpg 292w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 197px) 100vw, 197px\" \/><\/div><div class=\"lr-bookpill__body\"><p class=\"lr-bookpill__title\">Hetty and the Battle of the Books<\/p><div class=\"lr-bookpill__meta\"><span>Anna James<\/span><span class=\"lr-bookpill__meta-dot\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><span>Age 9<\/span><span class=\"lr-bookpill__meta-dot\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><span>Friendship<\/span><\/div><\/div><span class=\"lr-bookpill__chev\" aria-hidden=\"true\">&rsaquo;<\/span><\/a>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A day school this time, but the gang-of-girls energy is pure Malory Towers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The library is Hetty&#8217;s favourite place in school, especially since falling out with her best friends Ali, Mei and Rocket. Then the head teacher announces it&#8217;s closing. Not enough funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hetty is absolutely not going to sit back and let that happen. But saving the library means winning her friends back first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Short, warm and full of fight.

If your child is at the older end and wants their boarding school with a proper detective plot, Murder Most Unladylike by Robin Stevens is the modern classic. A 1930s school, a secret detective society, and genuinely twisty cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My <a href=\"\/littlereads\/articles\/books-like-murder-most-unladylike\/\">books like Murder Most Unladylike<\/a> list is the place to go once they&#8217;ve torn through those too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A word for the grown-up rereading over their shoulder<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If half the reason you searched this was your own trip down memory lane, no judgement.
