My thirteen-year-old son is devouring The Alex Rider series by Anthony Horowitz, and my seventeen-year-old daughter just finished the entire Gatekeepers series by the same author. I have not had the opportunity to read either. They asked me for these books themselves. In fact my son checked out one of the Alex Rider books from his school’s media center…ON HIS OWN! I have found that the key to getting my teenagers to read is to let THEM choose what they like. It is the most amazing thing to have them ask me to pick up books for them at the library because they want to read them…JUST FOR FUN.  Wow! Imagine that…
