I’m looking for a positive, fun book recommendation for my teen son.

I’m looking for a positive, fun book recommendation for my teen son. Doesn’t have to be YA, but no distopian, no depressing parent deaths ? Yes, he read RP1 & loved it .

Is he too old for Roald Dahl? My brother isn’t a reader but loved BFG but I can’t remember what age range that’s for. If he likes science fiction Enders game is a good read. Diary of a wimpy kid is fun if he’s a younger teen. If he’s into college football rammer jammer yellow hammer is an awesome book about Alabama football.

Every Day by Levitan. He might like the Messenger by Zusak. All Creatures Great and Small by Herriot. The Rosie Project by Simseon. Maybe Watership Down by Adams.
