Books for a 14yo boy?

[Pumpkintopf]

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!

1984
Brave New World
Slaighterhouse Five
Of Mice and Men
Nicholas Nickelby
Day of the Tyrphids
The chrysalids

He loved Of Mice and Men , some fab suggestions here as he hasn’t read the others, thanks!

Talisman andvthe green mile Stephen king
Curious incident dog
Yy to Patrick ness chaos walking (manchee!)
Lee child jack reacher
Wilbur smith lion feeds etc
All quiet western front
Guns of navarone
The cruel sea
Silver sword

Stephen King suggestions ace, I forget he wrote great stories as well as scary stuff!

Curious Incident he loved, ditto Book Thief (me too!!)

Others great suggestions, thanks! In fact I have a box set of All Creatures I bought from Book People a while back as I loved reading them at school.

In fact, have just recalled loving the James Bond books at secondary school too-so much so that I recall hiding under the blankets with a torch to read them! They might be good...

I also loved Poldark, think he might find those slightly less appealing...

If he wants a long series then I remember reading some of Brian Jacques 'Redwall' series as a teenager.

We (he had a theme going when trump was elected). I will have a look for the rest (1984 was a favourite).

15 y/o dd here, my number one recommendation right now if he hasn't read it would be The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas.

Non YA - dd reads a fair amount of sci-fi - over the last year or so new-ish books I can think of that she's read include the Cixin Liu trilogy (Three-body problem + sequels), Long Way To A Small Angry Planet + sequel, Ancillary Justice trilogy, yy to Ready Player One, Dark Eden plus sequels.

Brilliant , thanks so much will check those out!

Love the Trump theme...we (DH and I ) have just started watching Black Mirror. Scarily prescient isn’t it?! Like all the best sci-fi I guess.
