I have a 15 year old son that reads on occasion and I'd like to encourage that as much as possible. He enjoys vampire/edgy books, like the Vladimir Tod series, the Fallen series and Blood Ninja (yes, it's a Vampire/Ninja book ::sigh:: ) but most vampire books are aimed squarely at the female reader, i.e. heavy on the romance. Years ago he enjoyed Harry Potter novels but I think he's looking for something kind of edgy and modern.
Does anyone have any other recommendations for this genre that might be attractive to boys? He's enamored of my Nook (which he's welcome to, since the hubby and I much prefer our Kindles) and I'm hoping the combination of eReader novelity (excuse the pun) and interesting content will encourage him to continue reading for pleasure.
Your thoughts and suggestions are welcome!
