A word from Liam's Mom:
This list was compiled by my 11-year-old son Liam, who enjoys reading in bed after he’s supposed to be asleep. He’ll sneak a flashlight under the covers, and if we confiscate that? He’ll construct one from his Snap Circuits Electronics Kit. Really.
Below are his recommendations, along with a quote from him about each book. I hope you enjoy them.
Artemis Fowl Boxed Set
by Eoin Colfer
Liam says:
This is a great series about a 12-year-old criminal mastermind and a bunch of fairies who live 50 miles underground.
Molly Moon's Incredible Book of Hypnotism
by Georgia Byng
Liam says:
English kids with awesome powers, pugs, evildoers, chases; what's not to like?
The Amazing Flight of Darius Frobisher
by Bill Harley
Liam says:
Kid finds bike. Kid jumps on bike. Bike flies away with kid. Bill Harley is a great author, and great singer and songwriter too.
Tunnels
by Roderick Gordon, Brian Williams
Liam says:
Indiana Jones-type archeology in modern times done by a 12-year-old kid, with a bit of magic.
Skulduggery Pleasant
by Derek Landy, illustrated by Tom Percival
Liam says:
Forces of evil versus a talking fireball-throwing skeleton.
Chet Gecko's Big Box of Mystery: Three Hilarious Capers: The Chameleon Wore Chartreuse, The Mystery of Mr. Nice, and Farewell, My Lunchbag
by Bruce Hale
Liam says:
An awesome series about a 5th-grade gecko detective and his wisecracking mockingbird partner, Natalie Attired.
The Secret of Stoneship Woods
by Rick Barba
Liam says:
Four kids — Cyril Wong, Lucas Bixby, Jake Bixby, and Lexi Lopez — find an abandoned outpost in the middle of Stoneship Woods, holding the coolest gear in the world.
Warriors: The New Prophecy Box Set: Volumes 1 to 6
by Erin Hunter
Liam says:
You don't know how organized feral cats can be. After being separated from the rest of Thunderclan, Greystripe has to learn to survive on his own, without becoming a kitty-pet.
Flashlight Worthy
Recommending books so good, they'll keep you up past your bedtime.

About Liam H.
I learned to read at age 3, and haven't stopped since. I take a book with me pretty much anywhere I go, and it sometimes needs to be pried away from me if my parents want me to do other things (like eat, bathe, or acknowledge their existence).
