Books boys can't put down

[Butterfly44]

Looking for ideas of books that will grab a 10-11 year boy's attention. What gave your boy's read that he wanted to keep reading and not put it down?

With my almost 10yo DS2, it's the How to Train your Dragon series, and The Phoenix comic.

Bear Grylls Mission Survival series
The Creakers
Stormbreaker series
Percy Jackson series
Who Let The Gods Out series
Cosmic by Frank Cotrell Boyce
Rooftoppers and The Explorers, both by Katherine Rundell
Wizards of Once
A Series of Unfortunate Events
The London Eye Mystery
Skulduggery Pleasant

Thank you!!!

The Dangerous book for boys en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dangerous_Book_for_Boys and there is a reading suggestions on it which my son followed

You do know that ‘boy’ isn’t a personality trait? My DD and DNephew read the same books. What are his interests? Does he like fiction or non-fiction? It’s a personal choice.

At that age my DS liked the Wimpy Kid books and the Cherub series. Always hated any fantasy type books so no Percy Jackson or Harry Potter or similar.

Ds' recently read favourite books include:

Lone Pine Series
Alex Rider
Cherub/Henderson Boys
Biggles
Cue for Treason
Daughter of Time

Depends how much of a reader they are really. Alex Rider series was great for him. He also enjoyed Michael Morpurgo if we took it in turns to read (I didn't mind reading these with him but couldn't be bothered with Alex Rider sensationalism!).

My ds2 is now 10 and has read Harry Potter, Percy Jackson (there are 2 series of these), and currently on the Maze Runner series which his 13yo brother just read. He also goes back to David Walliams sometimes, which ds1 never got into.
