Books For Teen Boys; This Is Teen

Finding books for teen boys is hard for me. Scholastic always has the best suggestions and offers books for all age groups of kids.

Books For Teen Boys

Here are three books that Scholastic suggests for high school-aged boys:

• The Eleventh Plague By Jeff Hirsch
• Under Dogs By Markus Zusak
• iBoy By Kevin Brooks

I tested this out on my teen-aged son. I gave him all 3 books for teen boys and told him he could keep the ones he wanted to read. He kept them all! These books for teen boys passed the 15-year-old boy test!

The Eleventh Plague

The Eleventh Plague is about 15-year-old, Stephen Quinn and his family who survived a deadly plague that killed two-thirds of the population. They became salvagers roaming across the country searching for anything they can find to trade for food and other essentials for living. Tragedy strikes the family and Stephen finds himself alone. He finds Settler’s Landing, a community that is thriving after the plague. Stephen meets Jenny and together they play a horrible prank that changes lives forever.

Underdogs

UnderDogs is the first book of a Trilogy about the Wolfe brothers. Cameron & Ruben Wolfe are always getting into fights, coming up with schemes and disappointing everyone. At the same time, they are very loyal to each other. This loyalty is tested when one brother falls for the other brother’s girlfriend.

iBoy

iBoy, a wifi thriller, is about Tom Harvey who is your average teen in a South London housing project. An attack turns him into an App with pieces of a broken iPhone embedded in his brain. He can now do much more than the other teen boys. With this new power, he seeks revenge.

This book looks like something I would love too. I’ll have to remember to get it from my son when he finishes reading it.
