My Dd has been reading some of my old faves such as The Iron Man and Harold and Bella and Jammy and Me.

Stig of the Dump is great too. Gotta love Tom's Midnight Garden as well!

Tintin
Anthony Horowitz
Dirk Gently's holistic detective agency
How to Train you dragon series (if he hasn't already read it)

DD(11) is working her way through the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy series. She is LOVING it though had listened to the original radio series before starting to read it. Not sure if it helps but she says she is enjoying 'hearing the voices in my head' (wonders if I should worry :o)

Agree with others' great suggestions, also could try the Jennings and Hardy Boys series, Swallows And Amazons, War Horse, novels by Louis Sachar, The Daydreamer by Ian McEwan. Happy reading!

The Djinn series (eg Fire Djinn) by Linda Davies. Very similar to Percy Jackson, imo.

There is also a series by Graham Nix. Can't remember what it is called, but each title includes the name of one of the days of the week.

Most have been mentioned already but:

Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and Restaurant at the end of the Universe

Kane family ones

Temeraire

Eragon and sequels (Inheritance and Brisingr)

[Kinraddie]

Charlie Bone series by Jenny Nimmo is ideal for this age.
Also the Foul Play series by Tom Palmer (football thriller type books).

[SecretSpi]

Ribblestrop by Andy Mulligan
The Willard Price Adventure series (now re-released)
My Family and Other Animals - Gerald Durrell
The Bother in Burmeon & Trouble in Teutonia by S.P.Moss (Full disclosure - these are mine!)

[Wolfiefan]

Nix series is something about keys I think. It starts with Mister Monday.
My 11 year old is reading Gone and The Enemy series. He's also reading the Patrick Ness trilogy. Scary stuff!

[anchovies]

My ds (also 10) says if he likes hunger games and Percy Jackson to read Heroes of Olympus :)

Whale Boy by Nicola Davies for adventure

Maggot Moon adventure, dystopian novel.

Jack Gantos, for example Dead End In Norvelt

Has he discovered the Skulduggery Pleasant series?
