14 year old boy - not a keen reader!

[Cappuccinfortwo]

Any suggestions for books that will make him change his mind??

No specific books but my GC prefer to read on a Kindle. GS also likes graphic novels which may be a way in? Has he read Kes , Lord of the Flies, Animal Farm? There are lots of new authors about and good bookshops have sections for Young Adult fiction which is what my 12 yr old GD reads.

Ready Player One and The Martian, great if that kinda thing might be his bag.

I struggled for years with my sons reading until we discovered Rick Riordan when he was about this age.

What is he interested in?

He might simply not be keen on reading fiction, my dd wasn't. She enjoyed some of the popular science/maths books. Latterly she started reading oldfashioned detective fiction - Sherlock Holmes, Morse.

The Alex Rider books are great for that age. Fast moving teen spy stories by Anthony Horowitz.

Difficult to make someone a reader especially a teenage boy. You could try audio books (both DS enjoyed them as teenagers) and/or graphic novels as @Rocknrollstar suggested. But finding out what he would be interested in is a good shout by @ErrolTheDragon. What type of things does he like to watch? Second The Martian as I know lots of people who really enjoyed reading this even if this isn't a genre they would normally go for.

How about audiobooks? I'd recommend Stephen Fry reading Sherlock Holmes, P.G. Wodehouse or M. R. James. Douglas Adams also works well on audiobook, and so does Roald Dahl's stuff. You could play them when you are in the car with him. You know, casually say "thought I might try these" and then let the authors work their magic.

Have faith in the classics. They are classics for a reason. There is a reason people still read Jane Austen, Dickens, George Eliot, the Brontes, Virginia Woolf, etc. My friend used to work with troubled teens, and she said that even they sat spellbound while she read them a short story by Thomas Hardy (called 'The Withered Arm').

Have a look at the CHERUB series, by Robert Muchamore: first book is ‘The Recruit’
I can’t recommend these highly enough

Thanks for the suggestions. Audio books won't really work for us as we are rarely in a car but I'll let you know how we get on!
