I hope this gives you some ideas. I know its alot but I read loads (way more than this) when I was his age because I wasnt allowed any type of electrical device (i.e. phone, tablet, computer) till I was 15/16. I throughly recommend all of the above.
Anything that is on Rick Riordan Presents and the other series the he writes, Kane Chronicles, Heroes of Olympus, Magnus Chase, Trials of Apollo…
my son is 12 and he’s currently reading The Hunger Games. He’s into the same series 🙂
I have been told Jasper Fforde is really good. He has a YA dragons slayer series.
He should, as a PJO fangirl, read the Mangus Chase series if he hasn’t already. I enjoyed the hunger games.
