Hi,
My son is a voracious reader, BH.
Really enjoyed Avner Gold books and read them all.
Almost finished reading all the Meir Url Gottesman books.

I need more book suggestions.

Jewish books only.

He does not want to read scary thrillers, so no Eliav, Weinstock, etc.

Looking forward to your suggestions!

I love those authors!

I just read Yedidya by Naomi Elbinger and Rabbi Daniel Travis and found it riveting (and meaningful).

I don't know how old your son is. My 9.5 yo daughter devoured the M.U.G. books.
I would not give her Yedidya to read as it's very deep and she wouldn't gain as much as she could from it at this age. If she reads it now, she probably won't read it when she's older.

My son also is a voracious reader and M Keenan is another one he likes. He also likes Marcus Lehman.

He reads a lot of comics

I agree about the M Kenan books.
But they are very thick so it can be a bit overwhelming.

I think the size of the m keenan books overwhelms him.

he has read any jewish comics who could get his hands on

Will look at marcus lehman

thank you!

Edited to add. Put some in hold.seeing "akiva" reminded me that he really enjoyed "and rachel was his wife"

Dual Discovery by Zecharya Hoffman is a great book for that age.
