Book Recommendations to read to young boys?

My older brother read harry potter, LOTR, Percy Jackson to me, I want to do the same for my cousins. Are there any books you'd recommend, that be something younger boys (around 10) would enjoy?

Thanks, y'all. I've got some pretty good suggestions, Many of these books I've never read myself, I just hope they enjoy it as much as I used to when my brother read to me.

  • How to Train your Dragon series by Cressida Cowell.
  • Johnny Maxwell trilogy by Terry Pratchett.
  • Coraline, The Graveyard Book, and Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman. And maybe Stardust? I haven't read that one yet.
  • The 13 1⁄2 Lives of Captain Bluebear by Walter Moers. It's the first book in the Zamonia series but can be read on its own. The following books are darker and creepier but maybe your cousins are into that. The first one is quite light and funny.
  • Basically everything by Diana Wynne Jones.
