I our never ending search for new books for DS7, I came across a copy of 20,000 leagues under the sea. DS loved it and has told everyone he knows that they should read it.

I was recently chatting about my childrens//YA favorite books of all times. I will admit that some of these were 'read aloud' to DS14 at a much younger age, but I enjoyed and remembered them.
Lois Lowry books, such as: 1993 The Giver, winner of the 1994 Newbery Medal 2000 Gathering Blue 2004 Messenger 2006 Gossamer or by Jerry Spinelli, Stargirl 2000 Maniac Magee 1990 Loser 2002 or Bruce Coville's Series Magic Shop
The Monster's Ring. Aladdin (1989). ISBN 0671693891 Jeremy Thatcher, Dragon Hatcher. Aladdin (1992). ISBN 0671747827 Jennifer Murdley's Toad. Aladdin (1993). ISBN 0671794019 The Skull of Truth. Aladdin (1999). ISBN 0671023438 Juliet Dove, Queen of Love. Harcourt (2003). ISBN 0152045619 Space Brat 2: Blork's Evil Twin Space Brat 3: The Wrath of Squat Space Brat 4: Planet of the Dips Space Brat 5: The Saber-Toothed Poodnoobie Rod Albright Alien Adventures
Aliens Ate My Homework I Left My Sneakers in Dimension X The Search for Snout (Aliens Stole My Dad in the UK) Aliens Stole My Body
This batch is a bit tougher to chew: Annals of the Western Shore is a children's book series by Ursula K. Le Guin. Each book has different main characters and settings, but the books are linked by some recurring characters and locations. Gifts won the PEN Center USA 2005 Children's literature award.[1] Powers further won the 2008 Nebula Award for Best Novel. [2]
It consists of three books:
Gifts, 2004 Voices, 2006 Powers, 2007
Here's one lovely enough to read aloud to the whole family: Seedfolks (1997) is a novelette written by Paul Fleischman, and by Gail Carson Levine, Dave at Night (1999)
The Phantom Tollbooth is a children's adventure novel and a modern fairy tale published in 1961, written by Norton Juster and illustrated by Jules Feiffer, who wrote, A Barrel of Laughs, A Vale of Tears.

Secret Series by Bosch is a fun read for kids. It depends if your child is bothered by talks of death or not and bad guys. My DC didn't like bad guys last year but we've introduced them a bit and this year, not a problem at all. Really enjoyed the series.

lol DeHe, I can't figure out if DS is bothered by any of that stuff. He doesn't seem to be...but we haven't delved into certain things that I don't think he is ready for. Although he has read many books that I haven't yet. I just got him Phantom Tollbooth a couple days ago and he is almost done, and he is almost through the second book of the mysterious benedict society that he is reading with DH at night. We also read the george books and he really liked them a lot. We haven't read Harry Potter and some of those books though because I am not sure he is ready for that. It's so hard to know and I don't have time to read every book first.
Thanks Jesse, we may be brave and try it. Maybe I will order the first one and read it before Christmas and give it to him if I think it is okay. Is there actual death, or talk of death? Is there lots of violence?

thanks Jesse, I really don't know much about the mysterious benedict society other than the fact I read the first couple chapters on my own and a few chapters here and there with DS. He loves the series though. I am looking forward to reading a series with him. DH always gets the good parts : ) He has read the last couple books with him, so it's definitely my turn. I will have to check this one out. Thanks again.

We just found the Eva Ibbotson books. They remind me of JK Rowling meets Roald Dahl.
