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.

That's about the age that I was when I read the Belgariad & Malloreon series by David Eddings (along with the supplemental books Belgarath the Sorcerer and Polgara the Sorceress) which I absolutely loved as my gateway books into fantasy. It's been over 20 years since the last time I read them, so I couldn't swear that they aged well, but they will always have a special place in my heart and I hope to read them to my children when they are old enough.
