What to read next

[Erica]

My eleven year old brother just finished the series and he's going back to reread them. He's an advanced reader but he doesn't read much beyond the sports page. He likes long adventure series like Harry Potter and Percy Jackson. Usually he'll find a series and read nothing but that for several months. Any suggestions for what I can recommend to him next? He won't read Hunger Games because he thinks I talk about it too much.

Has he read the Kane Chronicles? Those are good for Percy Jackson fans. Gregor the Overlander (by Suzanne Collins, but for younger readers) is good, too. Maybe the Inheritance Cycle or the Chronicles of Narnia. Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel is good if he's patient enough. I've also heard that the Last Apprentice series is good, but I haven't read it. Possibly the Maze Runner if you think he's old enough to 'get' it. My ten year old brother liked the Beyonders but I didn't, so???? Hope this helps!

The False Prince-good choice,didn't think of that.

You might think about setting him up with some Scott Westerfeld. I'm a fan of the Uglies series as well as Peeps and The Last Days. Westerfeld makes a pretty easy jump from the world of fantasy into the world of dystopic sci-fi, plus his writing style is very engaging. Or, if he's into long-series fantasy you could just pull out all of the stops and set him up with J.R.R. Tolkein. The Lord of the rings might be a little steep for someone his age, but The Hobbit Is a great fantasy novel for tweeners.

He might like The Maze Runner and The Knife of Never Letting Go. I really liked both of these series

I agree that it can be graphic, but I don't think any more so than the last couple of books in the Harry Potter series. Erica said that was what her brother was reading and liked, so these should be OK.

He is a 'more advanced' reader so probably ready for the adult Terry Pratchett books or start him off on the Tiffany Aching series first (starts with 'Wee Free Men').

Funny fantasy for thinkers :)

I would recommend Piers Anthony - the Xanth books -This author likes to play with words and puns e.g. 1 book is "Isle of View" & "Crewel Lie". They can be read individually too -Wiki "As of January 2013 there are 36 Xanth books published and one in progress. Start with

1 A Spell for Chameleon (1977)
His Apprentice Adept series also good, this only 7 books.

Perhaps the Pendragon Series by D.J. MacHale would interest him? It has time travel, adventure, other worlds, and a TON of action.

CHERUB series (maybe from next year) , Alex rider, The Chronicles of Narnia, His Dark Materials, Nancy Drew, A Series of Unfortunate Events, Skulduggery, H.I.V.E. and as has been mentioned before Terry Pratchett (carpet people, diggers ect, only you can save man kind ect, as a start and then move on to the young adult books) and of course the hobbit is always a good book for children 8 and up.
