What are your 10-14 year old boys reading?

Tomorrow when the war began is awesome, but there is some sex. Just a little bit.

Hunger games awesome with no sex.

Other than that I cannot comment much ... DH was reading David Eddings etc by 10, and I was reading Dean Koontz.

DD loves the Tashi series, but I think she's just too old now at 11 for them.

I want to find books she can read, so I'm going to look into some of these. I was into The Baby Sitters Club & Sweet Valley High at that age, lol. I don't have time to read books at the moment, so have heard of some of these, but haen't read any.

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Treasure Island, 20, 000 Leagues Under the Sea. I had a series of hard cover books mum got through the Newsagent & there were some great stories in it. Little Women might not be his cup of tea though...

Yeah, i was gonna come back to say there is a little bit of sex, its not graphic though.

Ok, I'm not a boy, so I'm not going to tell you what I read when I was that age.

However, the boys in my life have been seen to enjoy:

Beast quest (i have no idea if they're good, they are certainly popular)
any book every written by Andy Griffiths (of the day my bum went psycho fame)
The abhorsen series by garth nix
The ranger's apprentice
Philip Pullman's his dark materials series (starting with The golden compass)
eragon (towards the upper end of your age range)
The graveyard book - neil gaiman
The Hobbit - Tolkein
Anything Diary of a Wimpy kid/vampire/zombie dog
The dark is rising sequence - susan cooper
The power of one - young reader version
Across the nightingale floor (again, upper end of your age range) - lian hearne

The age range you're asking about probably straddles a couple of different ranges of fiction, 10-12's are reading differently to 13-15s. But that will depend partly on the kids themselves and their readiness for longer and more involved plot lines and/or more complex themes. FWIW I have no idea whether any of the above contain any rude bits. It's been too long since I read any of them.

Thanks heaps guys. I really appreciate the suggestions. I will go through them with DS1. He's reading at a 15-16yo level, but I don't want him too heavily involved in sexual stuff yet.
