Does anyone know anything about The Enchanted Attic series by L. L. Samson from Zonderkidz? Literature is okay, but Christian content is a must for our library. If anyone has any suggestions for series (mysteries, adventure series for boys), please let me know.

I also meant to add single book for boys:
Wednesday Wars by Gary Schmidt
Here are a few more series that work great for boys. I have expanded the reading interest to secular books with quality content for Tweens. This is a difficult age, and the more we can offer hope and enjoyment, the better:
RPM Series (book #2 Blind Spot) by Chris Fabry
Code of Silence + 2 more books by Tim Shoemaker
AirQuest Series by Jerry Jenkins
HyperLinkz series by R. Elmer
No Place Like Holmes Series by Jason Lethcoe - one of my favorites - wish there were more than 2 bks. in series
Spiderwich Series
Landon Snow & Auctor - Mortenson
LarryBoy - for younger readers
Matterhorn series by Mike Hamel
Swipe Series by Evan Angler - for older boys
Here are a few books that appeal to boys that are single books with boy or mixture of boy/girl characters not necessarily Christian books, just good moral stories for kids:
Capture the Flag by Kate Messner
Crunch by Leslie Connor - one of my favorites
Season of Miracles by Rusty Whitener
Last Newspaper in America by Sue Corbett - Very good story
Wonder by R. J. Palacio - won some awards too
King of the Mound: My Summer with Satchel Paige
Buddy by M. H. Herlong
The Paperboy by Vince Vawter
Saturday Boy by David Fleming
Boy on Porch by Sharon Creech - for younger readers
Keeping Score by Linda Sue Park - baseball
Enjoy
