Great Book Series for Teen and Tween Boys

I have a voracious teenage reader. He can finish a book in an afternoon. Needless to say we are ALWAYS on the lookout for good, clean reads for him. At 13, he tends to be a bit picky. But we've found several series that he has loved that we would recommend to any boy (ages 9-15+) that we think they would enjoy. Here's our list:

  2. Thank you Jen for this list...I also have a 13 year old, but he's not a big reader, he gets bored easily with them, so I am always looking for books that might grab his attention and take hold. :)

    Rick R. Books are full of characters that I would prefer my 12 year old not to be subjected to (sexual and gender preferences) seeing his books on this list make me wonder if these other series are similar?
