I am not going to be much help as DD is younger, but she also likes funny books. I am also struggling to find books that she will enjoy. Is the spy school series funny?

Land of Stories series - my DD loved it. It's about fairy tales, but clever, and she had some classmates (boys) who liked it a lot.

Has he read all the Chris Grabenstein books? There's Escape From Mr. Lemoncello's Library (and the sequels) as well as Welcome to Wonderland. James Patterson has a bunch of funny series - the Treasure Hunter series, the I Funny series, and the Middle School series.

Dd1 loves all of these books! She really liked all of the Stuart Gibbs books. He has the Panda series and the Alpha Moon series. Both of those are great. Originally Posted by jenstring95

Holes and Tales from the Wayside Schools by Louis Sacher
Not funny but a series that seems to have really caught the interest of boys that age is Wings of Fire series (fantasy series about dragons)
The James Patterson Middle School series
