Captain Enthusiastic (now 11) has become quite a keen reader, when computer games are not available - I will mine this post for more suggestions :-)
CE has enjoyed these series already mentioned: Garth Nix, Mister Monday etc; the Cherub series, H.I.V.E, Artemis Fowl, etc
Barnaby Grimes Leviathan & Behemoth The Age of Darkness series: Wolf Brother etc
I used to love (and mostly still do) the Narnia books, "Watership Down" and "Swallows and Amazons", but I've given up on those - the younger generation have their own tastes, and the advantage is that I get some new reading matter too ;-)
