My 11 year old is in a situation at school where he has LOTS of down time, and they are only allowed to read. He is a fast and confident reader.

As an example, he started and finished “Project Hail Mary” today in about 3 hours. He also recently read “Ready Player One”, and he loved them both, but felt that RP1 was a little more adult in terms of language.

I’m looking for books that are appropriate for middle grade readers, but may not actually be targeting middle grade kids.

When I was his age my favourite authors were John Grisham, Patricia Cornwell and Stephen King, but he has different tastes 😀

Any recommendations?
