He has similar tastes to my 11/12 year old.
More suggestions:
-The Underland Chronicles, Suzanne Collins (same author as Hunger Games)
-Wings of Fire series
-Endling series

He loves to read but is somewhat selective about what he chooses to read. Thanks!
Do you happen to know why he is not interested in (or didn't like) the books selected?
The Redwall series
Eragon
Ender's Game
Artemis Fowl
Not in anyway related to the books mentioned previously, but the Phantom Tollbooth can be great for that age, but if not generally for reluctant readers (there's limited plot and a lot of it is puns and wordplay).
OP here. Here’s what he’s said:
Lord of the Rings - “I’ve already seen the movies”
Divergent - “it’s just a knock off of Hunger Games”
Golden Compass - he hasn’t actually tried but we tried to watch the series on HBO and he wasn’t interested and we tried to listen to it on Audible on a car trip and it was “boring”

Based on the books that you said he likes, I recommend the Storm Runner triology.

Stuart Gibbs also has a series, the first book is Space Case. It's a mystery written at a pretty quick pace. I'm reading it to my 9 year old But it is great for a 12 year old too.
