He has worked his way through several Carl Hiassen books and loves the element of mystery and humor. Together we find it difficult to find authors/stories to peek his interest enough to finish a book but also that offers just the right amount of challenge without reading "kiddie" books. Any help finding YA authors/books/series that can help motivate my son? Just fyi, no mushy romance or "boys in sports". Loves mystery, intrigue, music and humor. Thanks in advance....more

Similar to Hiassen's books in the 'Florida-noir' sub-genre. Mystery, info-tainment (mostly oceanography), and unusual suspects. YA in terms of "sex, drugs and rock 'n roll".
