12 year old boy book recommendations

[StitchesInTime]

I’m looking for some ideas for new books for my 12 year old DS.

He’s currently rereading the How to Train Your Dragon series.
Other books he’s enjoyed reading recently include the Dragon Realm series, the 13 Story Treehouse series, and the first few Harry Potter books.

Any suggestions welcome!

How about the Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan?

Terry Pratchett

Kid normal books are good and Ben miller ones

He sounds like he might enjoy Abi Elphinstone books. They are full of adventure and a bit of magic. My 12yo son liked the Dreamsnatcher series and my 10yo has enjoyed Rumblestar and the unmapper Chronicles

Katherine Rundell, Eva Ibbottson, Natasha Farrant and Emma Carroll write very well for this age and their books are also full of adventure.

The Cogheart series by Peter Bunzl got a thumbs up toom

My 12yo likes a bit of fantasy so some Terry Pratchett (Bromeliad trilogy, the amazing Maurice) went down well.

A Series of Unfortunate Events
Wizards of Once

Minnow on the Say
Philippa Pearce

Voyage of the Sparrowhawk
Natasha Farrant

The Indian in the Cupboard
Lynne Reid Banks

My Side of the Mountain
Jean Craighead George

The Children of Green Knowe
Lucy M. Boston

Eragon series by Christopher Paolini, first of four books about a boy who finds a dragon egg.

Alex Rider series?
Artemis Fowl?

E Nesbitt has been a bit of a hit here - the Railway Children, 5 Children and lt and the Treasure Seekers.

Who let the Gods out

It's a whole series. Definitely in the same wheelhouse as some of those mentioned above

My 10 year old has enjoyed most of the books mentioned as well as
Magnus chase series
Hero's of Olympus
The gone series (bit gruesome though)
The boy in the striped pyjamas
Timmy failure

My son really loved the Dragon Realm series by Katie & Kevin Tsang.

Thanks for all the recommendations.

We’ve now got the first book in the Percy Jackson, Who Let The Gods Out and Alex Rider series for him to try. We’ll be looking up some of the others at the library too 🙂
