Warriors, or the dog version, by E. Hunter


See, none of mine liked the dogs, one liked the bears, but everybody liked the cats.

My 11 1/2 year old LOVED the Hunger Games trilogy- he finished all three books in 5 days.

John Chrisham series about the lawyer kid. Very good.

It's older, but The Dark is Rising sequence is great. The first book is Over Sea, Under Stone. One of the main characters is an eleven-year-old boy.

NP here. Can anyone suggest any science fiction for this age that is NOT fantasy? My kid equates fantasy with girls but I think he'll enjoy some straight-up sci fi. I just bought the Maze Runner series hoping that it appeals to him but he hasn't opened the box, yet.

Hmmmm, I would try Robert Asprin's Myth series. Lots of double entendres and innuendos, but most will go over his head, and it's full of humor. Combination sci-fi/fantasy too, so it might open the door to fantasy.

My 11yo is currently reading through all the Halo novels (from the Xbox game series). He seems to like them quite a bit.
