My avid readers are desperate for books. I went through all the threads here and got so many wonderful suggestions. I need more.
My teen read alex rider, maze runner, and hunger games. Looking for more on that level. I don't care about violence I don't want a focus on boy/ girl relationships, a mention here or there is fine.
My tween read the mysterious bennedict society, warriors, mr lemoncello, spy school... need more on that level. Need super clean books for this one.
Both don't love major magic and fantasy. Talking animals and some futuristic plots are ok.

Most of my ideas have been mentioned, oh well. Someone above listed life if a cactus; I didn't think it was appropriate for my tweens at that age because iirc much of the plot revived around an illegitimate relationship or something like that.

From personal experience, look up every book someone suggests at least briefly. People forget or miss things, no matter how well meaning they are.
