Artemis Fowl
Eragon
Hunger Games

Wrinkle in Time
Hardy Boys
Children of the Magic Lamp (PB Kerr)
Cherub series by Robert Muchamore (somewhat violent, so check it out first)

Lord of the Flies
Ellen and Edgar
Lemony Snickett series
books by Gordon Korman (reading level is pretty basic, but some good stories that appeal to boys - there is a series about hockey)
Jack London
Young Samurai series by Chris Bradford (maybe a bit violent?)

(these last two would appeal to kids who likes manga and things Japanese)
oops have to go. I could add more later!
eta:
The Last Apprentice series, Joseph Delaney
Young Nicholas series, by Goscinny and Sempe (English trans. of Petit Nicolas. Kind of like a funnier, more intellectual diary of a wimpy kid).
