These are books that my teenaged son has read and enjoyed. It’s hard to get them off devices these days, so any non-digital distractions are highly welcome!

From the author of Percy Jackson. My son couldn’t put these down and is currently on his 4th or 5th time reading the series. Definitely worth buying the set and with the holidays coming, a perfect gift
