yes, For English, Geronimo Stilton is very good. My son can read it since P1 2nd term.
Apart from that, a chapter book series called "A to Z series" and another called "Magic tree house"are also very interesting.
For Chinese, my son can't read a lot of chapter books, but because of peer pressure, he now reads easy version of Three Kingdoms of Romance... And I find a very nice comic booked call "White cat black cat". You can find that in 7-11. They have many series suitable for kids. My son learn a lot of Chinese words from there.
Thanks for your suggestion. 老鼠記者 is too hard for my son (he is P.2 now). We are reading some picture books with pinyi, 20 minutes a day. One of the problems may be due to the use of Putonghua at school. We speaks Cantonese at home. It is difficult for him to use Putonghua to learn Chinese language.

My son starts reading chapter books recently. One of the reasons is peer pressure. As his mom, I read with him everyday, step by step. We are reading tree top series of Oxford Reading Trees. Before reading a book, I read the book and the teacher's note first, then I discuss with him about what will happen in the story. I let him read one chapter first and then I ask him to re-tell in his words. Once I think he can understand it, I will ask him to read a few pages, or we do role play and read aloud the dialogue in the books. Since he can understand the story, his interest in the words is more than that in the picture.
For Chinese books, however, he is still reading the picture books with about 50 words a page. I am still finding a way to increase his interest in the Chinese books.
When my son writes, I always give him a checklist - when, who, where, what and how. With these questions in mind, he can write more easily.
Another way to guide him is to give him a number of questions, let him answer them in complete sentences. For example, (1) Where was Mary going? (2) What did she see on the way back to school? (3) What did she do next? ,etc.
After answering all those questions, ask your kid to make it into a passage.
When I was at school, my teachers asked us to recite passages from books or newspapers. 正所謂 "不會詅詩也會偷". It did work - to extract sentences / phrases from passages and put into own piece of work.
