The False Prince

I'm always on the hunt for good books.  I was recently doing a search trying to find Micah some new books and came across good reviews for a new book titled "The False Prince" by Jennifer Nielsen.  Micah loves to read and reads at an 11th grade level, so it is really difficult to find something that keeps his attention, but is still clean for a 10 year old.  So after reading a few reviews (it just came out in April) I bought it.  I read it to "preview" it and totally loved it.  Micah read it in one day and it's over 300 pages.  I will warn you that it is going to be a trilogy and I'm not sure when the next book comes out.  He is currently reading "The Ranger's Apprentice" series (thanks for the suggestion Tracy) and loves it too.  I'll have to start that one next!  I highly recommend "The False Prince" though.  Now that I probably have to wait a year for the next one, does anyone have any other recommendations for my next book?

I am so impressed with Micah's reading abilities! He's amazing!

Adam has read, "The Ranger's Apprentice" series and liked those. I will ask around for recommendations.

Okay I'm back...I had to go visit my friend's blog. She recently posted great reading lists for boys...and she gave high, high high praises for...

The Overlander Series written by Suzanne Collins (the author of the Hunger Games series)...

...And a series she called The Edgeland Chronicals. She didn't say who wrote that series, though. She said in her blog..."If you have boys they should read these series...because...they just SHOULD." Okay...I guess they come highly recommended ☺.

Richard Paul Evans is writing a children's book series "Michael Vey" the second book just came out. Luke really likes them, I have been trying to get Heather to read it but she is into another series right now "the Billionaires Curse" and claims she can't start another book until she finishes this series. I heard an interview with Richard Paul Evans on the radio and was impressed with what he is trying to accomplish with the series. I have read about half of the first book but got sidetracked.
