newbie.....Books for 13 year old boy

[andrewkeinstein]

Does anyone have any good suggestions for a boy that just turned 13. I have read all the Harry Potter of course, the Alex Rider series, Wimpy kids.  I find that some of the 9-12 are too young but some of the teens are too old.  There seem to be a lot more out there geared to teen girls.  Any suggestions. I like humour, mystery and some fantasy.

Thanks

Andrew

Check out the Forbidden Doors series. It's by Bill Myers, and its about kids caught up in dealing with cults(the cults try to get them, they fight back). The first book is called The Society

The Cronicles of Narnia is always good.

The Door Within trilogy is about a guy(Aiden) that travels to another world to help battle the forces of evil and save our world at the same time. It's by Wayne Thomas Batson

I agree chronicles of Narnia is good. Also A Series of Unfortunate Events might interest you.

If you like fast paced books, you should check out Michael Crichton, the author of Jurassic Park. His books can get pretty gory though, and much more gory than what was portrayed in the movies. But once you read the first few pages, you are hooked. Just be warned: there is a lot of gore, and it is not for people with weak stomachs. Fantasy wise, I enjoyed The Warriors Series, the first book being Into The Wild, also Summerland is a good book with a mix between fantasy and baseball, so if you are a baseball fan, definetely read that.

I have plenty of suggestions. Narnia and Unfortunate Events are both good. Try Children of the Lamp(series) by P.B. Kerr, Maximum Ride(series) by James Patterson, and Artemis Fowl(series) by Eoin Colfer. They r all really good fantasy series. Well that should keep u busy Andrew.

[Chibi-Cat]

Oh yes, Eoin Colfer is a good author, I liked his book The Wish List.

I'm going to go old school for my answer... The Hardy Boys. (Hey, you said mystery!) And while they're not in any of the three categories you mentioned, S.E. Hinton wrote some excellent books with male main characters: The Outsiders, Tex, Rumble Fish, etc.

Yeah, I have streak of androgyny when it comes to reading.

[GCACheerldr14]

The Hardy boys!! Wow memories. They are good.

[jobrolover]

why dont you try reading the Septimus Heap Series. there very interesting.

[andrewkeinstein]

Thanks for some of the great suggestions everyone. I have read narnia and Unfortunate Events and loved them.  I am going to try some of the other suggestions.............Keep them coming!

I appreciate it.

[ThatsWhat_YouG…]

Cherub by Robert Muchamore

Eragon by Christopher Paloni (idk how to spell it that may be right)

Guardians of Time (idk who writes them)

WHATEVER YOU DO DONT READ INDO DREAMING!!!! (lol horrible book)

Descriptions:

Cherub- this is a series and as the books progress the boy gets older.  This book is about a British Inelligence agency that uses kids as spys.

Eragon- this book is about a boy named Eragon that finds a dragon egg in the forest.
