Books for a 14yo boy?

Hi all, am I in the right place to pick your brains for recommendations? DS is pretty well read, and has moved on to some non-YA books-Poirot, a bit of (less scary) Stephen King- are there any series out there I may have missed for him? Thanks very much!

Have you tried the Patrick Ness Chaos Walking trilogy?

I'm 32 and my Mum still 'sources' books for me occasionally so don't worry about the pp's response. I remember really enjoying the 'adventure' books by Willard Price, I might have been a bit younger than 14 but I think they would still be appropriate for your DS.

He does go to the library, book shops and on his kindle. However he’s read his way through most of the YA options in the first two venues and online options like Amazon can be hard to see the wood for the trees. Was simply wondering if anyone here had suggestions their boys had enjoyed for me to suggest, is all.

Doesn't he go to the library? At 14 he should be sourcing his own books OP.
