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.
