If a child you know is hooked by the massive jaws that is Beast Quest, what to do when the fun - or the series - runs out?

But the planet is not what it seems, and some nasty egg-eating oviraptors are hot on their tail . . . How can a world full of dino-birds forget how to fly? The astrosaurs uncover a deadly secret in the skies above Skwark Major where Teggs must battle for his life . . .

ZoeMarkhamhas been through this exact quandary with her son, saying: 'I'll always be grateful to Beast Quest for showing him the beauty of reading for pleasure - but yep, there comes a point!' So what's worked for him?Zoë suggests Tui T. Sutherland's Wings of Fire series ('equally addictive and SO much better written'). And she added: 'If you've got kids who are into Minecraft, Sean Wolfe's Elementia Chronicles are great - they had my then seven-year-old HOOKED.' As always, you came up with some fantastic ideas about where children could head after enjoying the Beast Questseries - here are just some of the options you proposed on social media: And then you have the Sea Quest series to devour, starring Max, Lia and the Robobeasts, plus Team Hero. In fact, Beast Quest goes beyond books - it's a whole world including collectible cards, and many primary school playgrounds ring to the sound of, 'Let's play Beast Quest!' Whisper it, but Beast Quest is now also a console game. Since 2010, all of the first sixteen books have recieved a new edition with new cover art. From The Robot Raiders onwards, all of the books have only been released in the new-style cover art.

Being part of a series, which is a framework that's quite controlled. Yes, it's predictable for an adult reader, but that's comforting in a beastly kind of way to a young reader - and far more interesting than most Reading Scheme books.The world of Aggadon is a dangerous place. Meteors crash down from its skies, and strange monsters prowl its dark forests. The triceratops trapped there call on Arx for help - and when the astrosaurs arrive, they find old enemies at work . . . Jay Jay Burridge's Supersaurs series, illustrated by Jay Jay and Chris West, is exciting, too. Raptors of Paradise and The Stegasorcerer are out now, and are the first two stories in a six-book series. They're allset in a world where humans and dinosaurs coexist, and the fast-paced adventure thrillingly includes an app which allows dinosaurs to come to 3D life when you scan the QR codes on a smart phone. Despite the scientific accuracy of the books, they are also incredibly fun and engaging. The characters are all unique and memorable, and each book is filled with exciting action and adventure. The humour in the series is also a big draw for young readers, with jokes and puns that will have children laughing out loud.

She is the only female member of the crew, and at 21 is also the youngest (excluding Sprite). She speaks almost every dinosaur language, which is immeasurably helpful on the crew's missions. On more than one occasion, she and Teggs have shown affection toward each other.
