Other books:

The 39 Clues Series
The Chronicles of Narnia (The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe is the most popular book in the series)
A Wrinkle in Time

Great idea...They too have an age range category of 9 - 12

Last years nominees were -
9 – 12 Nominees

Blake, Kendare – Anna Dressed in Blood

Gagnon, Michelle – Don’t Turn Around

Green, John – The Fault in Our Stars

Levithan, David – Every Day

McCormick, Patricia – Never Fall Down

Monaghan, Annabel – A Girl Named Digit

Myracle, Lauren – Shine

Saenz, Benjamin Alire – Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe

Van Draanen, Wendelin – The Running Dream

Zarr, Sara – How to Save a Life

This is actually a grade level recommendation, not an age level recommendation. Those books are amazing, for teens.

If your son likes sports fiction books, try those written by Mike Lupica. My sons (9 and 11) like the Lupica-written books and the Matt Christopher sports books. My boys also like the old Hardy Boys books.
