		<description>Deathwatch, Monster by Dean Meyers the main character is in a detention center. And Touching Spirit Bear  These are great because they grab boys interest right away.  All three have troubled main characters that are boys.  And they are intense.</description>

		<description>Some of these should fit the bill:

http://www.life-after-harry-potter.com

Included is a list of only the best sorcery fantasy books, grade reading level, a short review of each book along with a brief summary of adult content.  There is also a &quot;Readers&#039; Choice&quot; list of favorite books, and a list of heroine sorcery fantasy books.

Also, any clean male adventure books including:
anything by Jules Verne (particularly Journey to the Center of the Earth, but all of his stuff is good clean male adventure)
anything by Rudyard Kipling, but especially the Jungle Books (great lessons for young readers)
anything by Andre Norton (except Moon Called, which has a woman as the main character) - Norton is the classic scifi fantasy writer, and nearly all of her books are about young men &quot;coming of age&quot;, all very clean
anything by Jack London
the Dr. Dolittle books
The Three Investigators books (my favorite young reader mystery series, male-oriented)
the &quot;Boxcar Children&quot; books (also good young reader mystery series)

I hope this helps.

		<description>Fight Club - Chuck Palahniuk (15-17)

Where the Red Fern Grows (10-14)

The House of the Spirits - Isabel Allende (16-17)

Holes (9-13)

Goosebumps Series - R.L. Stein (9-14)

Hatchet - Gary Paulsen (12-14)

The River - Gary Paulsen (12-14)

The Encyclopedia Brown Series (7-10)

Also, most movies that come out these days have books that go with them. So, if there are any movies that they are particularly interested in, try looking for the book version.</description>
