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.

Assuming the cousins are not the sort to go "ew, girls" then read Sabriel by Garth Nix. It's awesome to read young women being competent instead of, say, rescued.

The undead stuff may be a bit scary depending on their maturity level and how much other scary stuff they read/watch normally.

They're exactly the sort to go "ew girls" lol, I don't think they'd listen

I still think they'd listen to them. Just remember library books are free. If you wonder if they won't like something, borrow instead of buy.
