The Phantom Tollbooth
How exciting for your son! So many adventures await him. I love that he's been caught reading under the covers. That's how you know you have truly enthusiastic reader!

Good luck! And happy reading!
"If something is frightening or causing distress, it's for a reason, it's a signal for you to avoid it. Even on psychedelics. Forget that nonsense about 'having to face your fears', you have a very good alert system built within you."
I think this is nonsense. You should avoid the things you are afraid of? So those with anxiety should permanently avoid public situations? Those who are afraid of leaving the house never should?
Bravery and courage are not acting without fear, they are acting while experiencing it.
EDIT: You should try reading this book which is part of a series dedicated to teaching kids a much healthier mindset than what you're proposing.
9 year old girls
They're old enough to be reading chapter books, but you didn't mention how advanced they were...
Hmm...this might be tricky...
If they like animals:
Summer of the Wolves
A recently orphaned twelve-year-old girl and her younger brother leave a foster home in California to stay with their estranged uncle, a biologist studying a wolf pack in the woods of Minnesota. Heartfelt and informative.
If they like fantasy:
Fablehaven
Kendra and Seth's grandfather has a secret. His woods is a sanctuary for all creatures magical and mystic.
If they like mysteries:
Frightmares: Cat Burglar On the Prowl
Peg Kehret has written a score of mysteries, but the best for middle readers are the Frightmares. Kayo and Rosie run into quite a few mysteries, and quite a bit of danger.
If they want to read about normal kids:
You can't go wrong with Beverly Cleary; I will never not recommend her. If I had to choose a single book of hers to recommend...
Dear Mr. Henshaw
7 year old boy
If he likes fairy tales:
The Stinky Cheese Man & Other Fairly Stupid Tales
The best set of fractured fairy tales I can think of. And perfect for a seven year old boy.
If he likes mysteries:
Jigsaw Jones
Encyclopedia Brown and its emphasis on logic and catching people in lies might be a touch too much for him at the moment, so I'm going to recommend Jigsaw Jones, the other elementary sleuth solving mysteries at reasonable rates. There's approximately a bazillion Jigsaw Jones books, so take your pick.
4 year old boy
If he likes little stories:
Mouse Tales
****
I may need a little extra time to think of books for the other kids.
Boom! had an amazing Darkwing Duck and Duck Tales that ended with an mind blowing crossover between the two of them call Dangerous Currency
. They even had a Rescure Rangers but then Disney bought Marvel and let their contract with Boom! laps before they could finish it or get to a Talespin comic.
Marvel might have something in the works for those properties but my guess they are focusing on the Star Wars titles they’ll be doing in 2015.

It's much better than the movie.
Check out astronaut Mark Kelly's moustronaut books here and here.
It's from me, in real life.

When I was at school, the students affairs person lived above our apartment and had a dachshund. We didn't know, and thought there were rats living in the ceilings! During orientation, he was intruding a comedian, and ended his introduction by apologizing to the people below his apartment (myself and my roommates) for his dog running back and forth all day!

Excuse the shoddy art work haha, it was before I had a scanner to draw and upload better artwork.
Thank you. I've been doing a lot of blog exposure this week.
I've been joining book clubs on Facebook as well getting it up on Amazon>The Flying Mouse and Twitter
I should know this. My goofball of a husband does the best Harry Caray impression. Although it's closer to an impression of Will Ferrell's impression of Harry Caray.
This is the children's book: https://www.amazon.com/Twinkle-Little-Star-Kate-Toms/dp/1780657161
When I was a child I had a book that was loosely based off of The Ant and the Grasshopper--except it was field mice, and the "lazy" mouse was the hero in the end.
I'm not really sure what the moral of that story was. The book was "Frederick"
Any of these?
Little Mouse and the Big Red Apple
The Biggest Apple Ever
A New House for Mouse
There are already a few picture books featuring a ghost named Gus.
This book worked for my 5 year old. It's geared more towards younger kids, but worth a shot with your child. He liked it so much, that he took up the nickname hamster. No lie. Good luck.
