Hi,
I have a brother at the age of 12 and he's currently reading 'Eragon' although he didn't really like reading before.
'Bartimäus' is really good too. I just love the story and read the books two times. But they could be a bit confusing for a 13 year old boy. Maybe when he gets older... |

Some suggestions in no particular order:
The Narnia books (Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe, et al.)
The Time Quartet (A Wrinkle in Time, et al.)
The Harry Potter series
These two may be too advanced for him, but they would be worth remembering:
The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, etc from J.R.R. Tolkien
The Wheel of Time series
Edit:
I just realized there was a page 1 to all of this, and some of my suggestions had already been made (not surprising really). Meh. |

| Those were some of my favorites. Also, the myth series by Robert Aspirin, House of Gormenghast by Mervyn Peake, and A Wrinkle in Time, A Wind in the Door and A Swiftly Tilting Planet by Madeline L'Engle. Animal Farm by Orwell and Brave New world by Huxley. How about Great Expectations or Oliver Twist? |

| Try Susan Cooper's Dark is Rising series, it's a 5 book series with a mid-20th century twist on the King Arthur story. Really creative and amazing with the fantasy elements your son/nephew will enjoy. |
