I love and support this post. I also loved Tamora Pierce's books. I think that the parents also have a large role to play. If a kid is interested in a subject they usually can read a large range of books. I started reading Harry Potter when I was 10, and my cousin has read the Hunger Games Trilogy at 11.alamorn wrote:Yes, yes, seconding the Tamora Pierce. Especially for a son, boys don't read enough books about women as main characters. Also, the Chrestomanci series. Anything by Diana Wynne Jones, really. Just have him read books where he has to identify with women and girls, please. So many boys never do and then they grow up to be assholes to women and we wonder why.
I would recommend the Warriors series by Erin Hunter.
For an 11-12 y.o. A Child Called "It" by Dave Pelzercould be a book that the parents can read with their child. A similar book to A Child Called "It" is They Cage the Animals at Night by Jennings Michael Burch which I read as a seventh grader and loved.

Andy Griffith's 'Just' series.
Rick Riordan possibly. I read his 'Percy Jackson and the Olympians' series, and they were repetitive. But he has other series like 'The Heroes of Olympus' which I haven't read.
Morris Gleitzman is another author, his 'Toad' series I hear is good. 'Boy Overboard' was an excellent story.
