My reluctant boys like the Alex Ryder series by Anthony Horowitz. Horowitz is a British playwright. Alex is a 14-year old James Bond with gadgets and wild adventures. The firsts of the series is "Stormbreaker". This should be read first. It reveals his background and how he became a spy for MI6. The other 6 books are fast paced and exciting to read.
