My daughter, same age, read Jurassic Park and is now a huge Michael Crichton fan. Maybe those?

My DS is a little younger (9) but has enjoyed most of the books already listed. He's also really liked books by Jonathan Auxier - Peter Nimble and his Fantastic Eyes & The Night Gardiner.

How about the classics?

Tom Sawyer
Treasure Island
Swiss Family Robinson
The Lost Prince

All the Jules Vernes, particularly Around the World in 80 Days and 60,000 Leagues under the Sea.

The Hobbit, and then LOTR when he's ready.

I suppose he's read the Chronicles of Narnia and the Chronicles of Prydain, if not he might enjoy them.

Alcatraz vs the evil librarians-- by Brandon Sanderson. I think there are 4 in the series. Buy as individual books, not the giant 4-in-1 volume. Very funny. Look up reviews on Amazon. Best ever series. Both my kids read, loved, re-read, etc.

fyi you have this cross posted in the books/movies forum. (I responded there and then when I read this thread I thought my response disappeared!)

Does it have to be a series? My son loved Wonder.

He has read all the Rick Riordan, Harry Potter, Diary of a Wimpy Kid books, and those series intended for slightly younger audience. He's looking for something new, and I want to get him a series for Christmas. Any ideas? I'd like to stay away from Hunger Games, Divergent stuff if possible.

Thanks for any suggestions!
