Terrible Two series, Space Case series, Lion/Witch/wardrobe series.
Used to be a middle school teacher…I loved reading Maniac Magee by Jerry Spinelli to them. Think it got an award. Older book, but my three boys loved it.
Good old Hardy Boys series.
Why not take them to a book shop and let them choose for themselves? Time amongst the shelves is always time well spent 🙂
Because the only book store around me is Barnes and Nobles and their prices are ridiculous compared to amazon. Their is a used book store we visit every year at the beach. We keep an account their when we drop old books off we get big discounts on new books.
Ok, I get you. Could they maybe have a look on B&N then you buy the books cheaper online? Just a thought.
I find that b&n on line is mostly comparable to Amazon. I’ve switched back to Barnes and Noble in support of the the brick and mortar book store, as well as the concept of a bookseller, in general. Amazon gets plenty of my coin so im not worried about their viability.
My 6th-grade students are loving all books by Alan Gratz. Prisoner B-3087, Project 1065, and Refugee have turned them into avid readers.
Disc World by Terry Pratchet.
Theodore Boone stories by John Grisham
FabelHaven
The Hatchet ?
My eleven year old is reading this now, and keeps trying to get me to read it. It’s next on my list.
Oh I forgot about Hatchet, Collin loved those books by Gary Paulson, thanks!
@Sarah it’s so good:):)
@Kait Yes! Alec and I listened to it on audible during our summer road trip:)
I think they’d enjoy Crazy House or Confessions of a Murder Suspect or even the Witch and Wizard series.. All by James Patterson as well.
Any series by Rick Riordan. Also Artemis Fowl or Lemony Snicket.
The Underland Chronicles by Suzanne Collins. Jeff Kinney’s Diary of a Wimpy Kid series.
They both loved diary of a whimpy kid, but it is way below their reading levels now.
Harry Potter
My youngest read the first two but never really got into them and my oldest isn’t into that type of fantasy. Bummer because I know so many people love them!
My go-to recommendation is The Extraordinary Adventures of Alfred Kropp by Rick Yancey. An action adventure that my son and I both enjoyed! I read the first of the three in the trilogy.

My 12y old son enjoyed The Tiger’s curse series and Sherlock Homes unabridged this summer
Hideout by Watt Key
DJ McHale wrote a great series called Pendragon they might love
Alex Rider books by Anthony Horowitz
Ita with the Underland Chronicles…Gregor.the Overlander is the first
These all might be available used and in paperback….check eBay or maybe have your beach store post to you.
Percy Jackson series
The maze runner series
The Red Kayak, Zach’s Lie, Jack’s Run.
The Talisman by Stephen King for the 14 year old
Eyes of the dragon by Stephen King
