Book Suggestions for 14 Yr Old Boy...

I taught 8th grade and my boys LOVED The Outsiders by SE Hinton. They also liked Sevek and the Holocaust.

The only thing I'd add is try the library. I worked in one for 5 years and the biggest complaint the librarians had is that everyone was afraid to ask them questions. The librarians love to help people find books they'll love.
Ours will answer questions over the phone so you don't even have to make the trip.
Good Luck!

My child is too young to read yet, but my husband likes the same types of books as your nephew. He loved the Eragon book series, which he said was much better than the recent movie. The best part about these books (about a boy raising a dragon) is that they were written by a teenage boy...I think he wrote the first book when he was 15 or so.

I personally love the "Odd Thomas" series by Dean Koontz. it's not too mature where it will be a hard read either. it's adventurous, and mysterious, and a little fantasy wrapped into one :)

my favorite was "Forever Odd".

When I had a commute, I would listen to the book on CD in my car.

Go to the book store and ask them for suggestions. They have always been helpful in helping me find books for my 11yr old niece.

Holes and The Great Brain series.
