Mine just enjoyed the Arc of a Scythe series by Neal Shusterman.

Japanese light novels such as "That Time I got Reincarnated as a Slime" and "Is it Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?"

+1 on Alex Rider series.

Also, my child is a huge Percy Jackson fan and was very eager to ready everything else written by Rick Riordan as well as everything recommended by him (https://rickriordan.com/resource_type/ricks-reading-recommendations/)

My 12 year old and 9 year olds LOVED this series and can't wait for the new book.

Also: Spy School series & the Ranger’s Apprentice series

+1 to Spy School series and Stuart Gibbs' other series. Very clever writer.

In addition to many of those already mentioned, my DS likes:
The Inheritance Cycle
The Unwanteds

Just heard a great piece on NPR about the Alex Rider series. Will be give the first for Christmas!

Wings of Fire, Diary of a Wimpy Kid (he's been re-reading those for years, they crack him up), Last Kids on Earth, Eragon, I got him Hunger Games for Christmas but don't tell him.

My 12 year old is reading The Book of Dust.

He also likes Alex Rider books and Sherlock Holmes. He’s also into Manga, but gets these from the library so I’m not sure what he reads.

Recently he read The Boy Who Harnessed The Wind, which made him cry.
