Here’s a list of twenty great pre-teen and young teen boy books and series my boys have read and enjoyed:

  1. Where The Red Fern Grows-classic story of a boy and hounds and so many good lessons.
  2. Pendragon Series-this is probably the favorite series with my boys besides Harry Potter.
  3. All of the “Who Is, What Is, Where Is” books-easy quick reads.
  4. Any of the Childhood Of Famous Americans biographies.
  5. Theodore Boone Series by John Grisham
  6. The Boys Who Challenged Hitler by Phillip Hoose
  7. Hatchet Series by Gary Paulsen
  8. Found Series by Margaret Haddix
  9. The Beyonders Series by Brandon Mull
  10. Because of Winn Dixie by Kate DiCamillo-another dog book.
  11. Shadow Jumper by J.M.Forster
  12. Old Yeller by Fred Gipson-loved this one myself.
  13. Shiloh by Phyllis Naylor
  14. Great Battles for Boys Series
  15. A Long Walk to Water by Linda Sue Park
  16. Holes Series by Louis Sacher
  17. The Sign Of The Beaver by Elizabeth Speare
  18. The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
  19. Bud, Not Buddy by Christopher Paul Curtis

    Sarah, I love this!! I posted a similar list on my blog a couple weeks ago for the books I’m requiring my six kids to read this summer (I do this every year; it’s basically books that I think they would love but are unlikely to read on their own). So glad to see your list as most of my kids are halfway done with their summer reading lists already one week into summer break and I need new ideas!

    Here’s my list for this year (with links to previous years as well) in case it’s helpful to any other readers. My kids are 16-4. http://theirchronicles.blogspot.com/2021/05/summer-reading-2021.html?m=0

    I love all your suggestions so much! I really depend on your ideas for gifts. What is a good idea for an 18 yo boy going off to college and living in a dorm? Perhaps you or your readers have some ideas.

    Have they read the Ranger’s Apprentice series? My voracious reader sons have loved those (and I read and loved them too – I like to keep up with my boys’ favorite reads when I can). They are very well-written and wholesome books, but still fun and exciting.

    Thank you for these!! I have an avid 12-year old reader and it’s tough to keep him in books. He’s read and enjoyed several on the list—I’ll check out the others.
