Hi I have a 10 year old boy who enjoys reading but recently he kept complaining about there is nothing new to read. Some of the books he has finished so far: Percy Jackson & the Olympians (his favorite),Harry Potter series, Diary of the Wimpy Kid series (he reads and listens to audio books on this one), the Hatchet, the Maze Runner books, Spy School series, etc
He likes “fantasy, action and comedy, some science fiction is okay, and a bit of romance is okay but not a whole lot.” 🤣 His exact words.
He does have Libby and he uses it daily to read or listen to audio books.
Could you recommend some books for him please? I greatly appreciate it!

He might like the Wings of Fire series or the Warriors series. Both fantasy series with LOTS of books.
Try the Pendragon series. I haven’t read it in years, but it’s about a teenager named Bobby who can travel through time and space to save other dimensions, or “territories” from a demon named Saint Dane. There are 10 books in the series.
The Dragons of Ordinary Farm by Tad Williams
The Iron Trial by Holly Black might be fun and has a great audiobook
The Temeraire series by Naomi Novik – it has dragons in it if that might be of interest 🙂
The Giver by Lois Lowry
I personally loved the Warriors series by Erin Hunter, Leven Thumps by Obert Skye, Ranger’s Appretice John Flanagan, and Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer when I was a kid!
The Hobbit by JRR Tolkien
Hunger Games might be good too depending on his maturity level/your okay-ness with him reading about teens fighting to the death – I read it when I was 11 and loved it but it’s definitely up to you if you want to recommend it!
The Alchemist series by Michael Scott is perfect for that age
