my mum wants to get my boys a book each as a little pre-xmas present - what are your boys reading and enjoying? both mine are voracious readers and when I was in Waterstones yesterday I was struggling to find something they hadn't read and would enjoy
recent hits for the nearly 12 year old have been Dark Materials, both Skullduggery Pleasant, all Artemis Fowl, all Wolf Brother, everything by Cornelia Funke (Dragonrider, Inkspell trilogy etc), Eragon trilogy, Spartan warrior series
9 year old has also read most of the above except I think Phillip Pullman's a bit old for him
any good recommendations? neither likes horror so no vampires or anything remotely girly
