My wife is reading J the Dahl in English. As I've mentioned several times before, reading a story simultaneously in L1 and L2 is very productive language-wise.
J is going through a phase in which he is very interested in comeuppance, paybacks, and vengeance. In two of his favorite Roger Hargreaves stories, Miss Ärger and Mister Fies, the main characters very satisfyingly get a "taste of their own medicine" at the end. Matilda has some great episodes in this regard. In German the idiom jemanden etwas heimzahlen is used, which is great because it's very important and I don't believe I've used it with J yet. Possibly we have not even encountered it in our L2 media.
