Book series recommendations similar to Percy Jackson or Spy School?

If your son likes the humor in the Stuart Gibbs series, he may enjoy John Scalzi’s “Old Man’s War” series. It has some profanity and more adult themes. My sons are huge fans of John Scalzi.

I teach middle school and I swear they are all reading City Spies (except when they are reading Alan Gratz, but those seem less like the ones you said your kid likes).

Golden Compass series
Origami Yoda series (much easier but very funny and surprisingly good messages)
