Reading List for 14yr old
So I asked our librarian for a few reading suggestions for my 14 yr old son, so he has some screen time breaks. I got this fantastic reply from our very capable Librarian. Hi Sean All Robert Muchamore’s and Anthony Horrowitz books are popular if they like adventure type things, especially the Alex Rider series. If they like Zombies and horror he can’t go wrong with Darren Shan. These are all good authors as they do long series and should keep your son going. I read a whole series by Will Hill that was really good about vampires but definitely not lovey dovey stuff. I loved it. The good old basics for the last few years like the Gone Series, The Maze Runner
