Here are some all-time read-aloud or along favorites for boys (and girls!):
Harry Potter series
Fudge books
Junie B. Jones books
Magic Tree House books
Here’s another list of some novels boys might like. I read the first one here, and while I liked it a lot, take note that it’s got some mature themes and language; most appropriate for older teen boys.
What are some of your boys’ favorite novels?

I read the Fudge books to in 4th grade exactly and my teacher used to do voices and I loved him!
BTW The past article on the 13 year old father…I read today after a paternity test he is not the father although I’m sure the father is probably still 15 or under…interesting!

The last one “Magic Tree House” is one that my ds loved.
If your boys like series, some of Cody’s favorites are the Percy Jackson series (we got to meet the author last year :), the Inheritence trilogy (written by a former homeschooler), and the Artemis Fowl series. The first and third are both pretty funny, and the 2nd one is a bit more series. We’ve done them all as audio books (own most of them, actually) and Cody listens to them over and over again.
My boys are 7 and 8, and we have enjoyed series books the most, including the Guardians of Ga’Hoole, the Secrets of Droon, Deltora Quest, and we are now working on Eragon. Thanks for the other ideas!
We’ve read the Junie B series. We’re now into Magic TreeHouse but more heavily into Beast Quests. Oh and Tale of Depereaux.
