Hello! I am looking for book recs that are boy friendly, for ages 11 and 12, some of which might also appeal to KS3 boys but with reading ages of 7-9 and others for boys with reading ages to match or be just above chronological. Not the obvious ones like Horrowitz, Young Bond, Artmeis Fowl, as I know those but ones that are maybe newer than that or older with lasting appeal.

Thanks ever so.

DS (10 but reasonably able) just raced through several of the Baker St Boys books by Anthony Read. He now wants to read Conan Doyle.

Maybe they would appeal - could capitalise on the film recently out?
