I always have a hard time coming up with good mysteries for teenage boys. I think that as a whole, there are more mysteries written for and read by girls, so when the boys come in with a request it's difficult to find many. Sometimes I end up giving them a thriller, like Acceleration and hoping their teacher doesn't know the difference. My one solid fallback is The London Eye Mystery. Do you have any other ideas?

Michelle | 9 comments Colin Fischer has gotten a lot of attention this year. I haven't read it yet. My one concern is that although it features a male, it might still have a stronger female appeal. It appears to break the genre mold as well. Has anyone read it?
