My 10 year old son is plowing through these books and I’m a little clueless as to the content. Would you all say that these books are appropriate for him?

Depends what you’re comfortable with. The earlier books have some light romance, but I believe later on in the series there is a same sx couple if I remember correctly.

Any idea about Percy Jackson? I’m not concerned about the mythology part. More tzinus like things

Land of Stories also has some language that I'd prefer my kids didn't read before a certain age. B*st*rd was one that I remember seeing in the first book.

I only read the earlier land of stories books which are fine. Can’t speak for the later ones. The first series of Percy Jackson is mostly fine. Minus the whole thing of gods having sx with pretty much everyone. It’s written in a mostly PG way. The second series of Percy Jackson are not appropriate. They discuss same-sx relationships, and I believe our slightly more explicit about sx in general, bordering PG-13.

Any ideas for good long series that are clean? Not worried about minor flirty stuff but since he reads so quickly, I need to start getting ideas

The unwanteds by Lisa Mcmann. Never finished the series but the first 5 books were definitely clean. Can’t imagine the rest wouldn’t be
The false prince (ascendance series) Jennifer Nielsen
The thief series - Megan Whalen turner - involves multiple gods but clean series.
The palace of laughter - Jon Berkeley
Alex rider series - Anthony Horowitz
Jinx series - sage blackwood
The vengekeep series - Brian farrey
The sisters Grimm - Michael Buckley

The thief series is literally my favorite series ever and I highly recommend it but I want to point out in case ppl are super particular: there are no explicit sx scenes but it mentions the king sleeping in the queen's bed, "kissing her like a man kisses a wife," etc. but nothing further than that.

I adore the thief series!! It’s my all time favorite! I can reread it a thousand times over. It’s so brilliantly written
