Clear DayGood morning!
I had some requests for a hit so here they are! My original request was for
favorite titles of adventure books for teenage boys without alot of sex or
profanity. I have somewhat compiled the responses.
Brian Jacques' Redwall series. (3 recommendations)
Hunt for Red October. (Military adventure)
Maximum Ride by James Patterson. It's a series of 3. (received 3 recommendations)
They areadventure/science fiction where the end of every chapter is a
cliff-hanger. Even not-very-good readers would enjoy them.
Son of the Mob by Gordan Korman.
"Airborne" by Kenneth Oppel (received 2 recomendations)
Airborne's sequel "Skybreaker"
"Hatchet" by Gary Paulsen (This is great and on a high interest lower reading level
meaning it appeals to adults but is
not to hard for fifth graders).
"Merchant of Death" by MacHale
"Fablehaven" and "The Candy Shop" by Brandon Mull. (I have read both of these and
found Fablehaven especially entertaining. I am not much into fantasy/adventure but
these were good.
The following are science fiction/adventure but Extremely popular
Enders Game and the sequels--Orson Scott Card (Sci Fi but
even non sci fi boys like it)
Eragon
Here there be Dragons--Owen
Authors to consider:
John Grisham? (Any of their titles)
Brian Jacques
Robert Jordan
Thanks once again to everyone for contributions. Have a super day!
