I owe a lot to this action-packed series by Laini Taylor.
So it was that my piece de resistance turned out to be The Fairies of Dreamdark: Blackbringer (now published merely as Dreamdark: Blackbringer). The Ruby Key by Holly Lisle or Changeling by Delia Sherman? Yes, those he’d take. As a test I tried him out on What-the-Dickens by Gregory Maguire. Once Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black made it okay for boys to be into fairies the gender roles dissolved just a little. Without hesitation I virtually dragged the kid over to the middle grade reader section, then got some clarification.
He knew to come up to the reference desk to ask his question, and he wasn’t shy about it either. Couldn’t have been more than ten years of age.
