After suggestions for my 12yr old son as really struggling to find appropriate books now for his age. He's an avid reader, finished all the Percy Jackson and spinoff ones and loved them but everything in the 8-12 sections of the library or book shops now seem too young, and the teen sections seem too old. Many of the books are either too violent for his age or focus on relationships etc which he just wouldn't be interested in. Any ideas?

My brother and I both loved Skulduggery Pleasant around that time. Might be worth a triple check that it’s appropriate but from what I can remember it was fine.
Eragon, Artemis Fowl, Darren Shan are all books that I read around that age or slightly younger and still read now I’m 32. They’re all excellent, Eragon might be a bit tough but if he’s pretty advanced anyways it’s probably not a bad shout.
