The discussion on this thread has thrown up a number of excellent recommendations for teen boy readers, so im including a list of those here. I'm keeping it to recently published books/ongoing series rather than books published 10+ years ago. If you have more, please share them!
Joel/JJ Arcanjo@Joelarcanjo
Pals, are we ready to have the 'there is nothing out there for teen boy readers' discussion yet? Because the more I hear 'I can't find anything I like' from them during my school visits, the more I grow convinced publishing has forgotten about the post-Middle Grade boys.

She’s a brilliant writer and please tell her I was also inspired by @jk_rowling books growing up so to think my stories inspired your daughter too is really lovely!
Kelly@kelly36634109
@jk_rowling and @Heldideas you have inspired my 11 year old so much that she comes home from school having written extracts like this. One of her many one page ideas. Thank you ❤️ #reading #aplacecalledperfect #HarryPotter #childhood #literacy

Here are 3 fab recently released books, each the latest in a series. For 6+ I love @SJOHart’s Lola and Larch stories, for 8+ @AlNolan’s Molly & Bram adventures are the perfect mix of fun and history, and for 9+ @Heldideas’s The Light Thieves series rock! #DIKBChallenge24
