i'm hardly aware of what this site is, but what i am trying to find are books my 15-year-old boy might like to read. he has read and liked only one book in his life: Holes. his English teacher wants him to read fiction; most fiction for his age group is fantasy/science fiction and many have female heroines. i'm looking for books on the slightly more young-adult end rather than young teen, possibly humorous mysteries. i saw something at the bookstore, i think Adamson was the author, humorous mysteries set in japan--anyone read these, or any other suggestions?
