My little brother is 13 years old and he is a prolific reader. He still enjoys some middle grade books but he now reads at a college level and occasionally gets bored with books exclusively targeted to his age group. Last year my husband and I gifted him Project Hail Mary and he flew through it. Afterwards we had so much fun discussing the book with him since we had all read it. We have a pretty big age gap (10+ years) so bonding experiences like that are harder to come by.
I’d love to do something like that again but no book that I’ve read lately immediately springs to mind. Are there any adult-level (any genre) books that might still appeal to a younger reader?
He likes apocalyptic-adjacent books. He likes books set on ships or ship wrecks. He also has enjoyed several mystery series. He loved the Warrior series a few years ago and will still pick up new books as they come out but he will read them in a single day or less.
