Not quite "What would you recommend?" this time around, but similar. I've been recommending the above series interchangeably to people who like one or the other of them, but I've started to wonder for the younger readers if the content levels are the same. The reading level looks similar to me, but I haven't read any of the books. I'm recommending them simply based on how many times I've had customers ask me about them (and the positive reviews I've seen on blogs I read).
Why I'm asking is because at the store I work at, Stormbreaker (and the rest of the Alex Rider series) is located in the 9-12 year old's section. The Maximum Ride series and the Cherub series is found under "teens". Are there likely to be any issues with recommending them interchangeably?
And then, there are the kids who've read them all already. What other suggestions could I make? I've been (when I remember) recommending the Young James Bond series, but I don't know of any other books or series I could recommend as well. What would you recommend?

I would recommend Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer, I mean it's a little different, but still adventurous and awesome!
I've read these three and they are pretty similar. From what I can recall, there aren't any major differences in age levels between the three.
I will echo April's comment. I would compare Artemis Fowl with these as well.
Good to know. Thanks for the additional recommendation too, April and Allie.
