| Great Thanks. OP here. He has read Hatchet, Holes and Wonder, all awesome. Holes was his favorite book ever - a great movie too! And he has read some of the Ranger's Apprentice. But, not it seems he has hit a road block so these are very helpful suggestions. I'll check them out. Keep them coming. Thank you so much. |

| If he liked those, then: Absolutely True Diary of a Part-time Indian, Rules, Out of my mind, Because of Mr. Terupt, Hoot (read before Chomp), The Apothecary series, the False Prince (my son got stuck on this one, but got past it) |

Oh, yes. The Guys Read series is awesome! My son also loves several series by Tony Abbott - Secrets of Droon, etc. |

I suggested "absolutely true diary..." OP should definitely look at it first. I guess my DS read it when he was 12, not 10. I think it was on the summer reading list, prob. for 8th grade, but maybe not.
Others he liked enough that he read them avidly and said they were great include many by Sonnenblick (but not all are appropriate for that age), esp. "Drums, Girls and Dangerous Pie" and the sequel "After Ever After". Also, "One-handed Catch" by Auch. |
