I liked Great Brain as a kid and I moved on to Sherlock Holmes and other mystery writers

City Spies by James Ponti and his Framed series. His books have endearing kids solving mysteries and cliff hangers to keep you wanting more. I listened to the audiobook and really enjoyed it.

Hi All,
With summer right around the corner I'd love to find a few books that my 12-year-old could really sink his teeth into. He's a great reader when he finds something he likes, but he's picky. He isn't into fantasy/Rick Riordan-type books, and those seem to make up a lot of what's recommended for boys this age. I'm happy for him to read grown-up books if they aren't too sexual or violent. Last summer I got him to read The Help and he absolutely loved it. He just finished The Great Brain series and loved it, and he loves all Gordon Korman books. Can anyone suggest other books that he might like? Grown-up or kid books, doesn't matter which, but he enjoys realistic fiction (or non-fiction-- he used to love the I Survived books). Thanks!
