What to Read?

My son is 12 and in Gr 6. He loves to read, but he came to a point of not knowing what to read. He needs to read a book in order to give a book talk at the beginning of December.  As I did not grow up with reading English books I can’t really suggest any to him.

If any of you can remember what you liked to read when you was 11/12 years old, please let me know.
