Thanks for starting this thread, Chris, and thanks to all of the replies. My DS10 has enjoyed reading the suggestions posted here. So many books, so little time.
DS10 has likewise just finished the Ender's Game series. He also loved reading The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, I Robot, and the Percy Jackson/Olympian books and the new books The Lost Hero and Red Pyramid. So they seem to have common interests.
Here is a very quick list of books that he recommends as his favorites:
Ranger's Apprentice
The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel
Pendragon Series
Artemis Fowl
House of the Scorpion
Here There Be Dragons (several books in this series)
Magyk Series (Septimus Heap) by Sage
Simon Bloom- Gravity Keeper
Simon Bloom -The Octopus Effect
Fablehaven Series by Mull
Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld
The Bartimaeus Trilogy by Stroud
Note: I have not read all of these, but many of them I have enjoyed. Here There Be Dragons creates an imaginary world where famous literary creations all come to life in one book (Capt. Nemo, Sherlock Homes references, Peter Pan, many Lord of the Ring references, etc). So it is fun to read if you know your fictional literature. I have also read and enjoyed Magyk, Fablehaven, and Simon Bloom.
