Great- thanks for the suggestions! I'm buying on Amazon.com (since Borders closed in our town) the first Artemis Fowl, the first Kane series, and one other by Rick Riordan.
He really wants to read books in a series. When he was in first grade and early second grade, he insisted on reading all 46 Magic Treehouse books in order. He would not read the next one if we didn't have it. I bought them all online- I guess we will try to donate them to the library once our little one is done.
My rising second grader is reading MTH- he doesn't seem to care the order and is reading them, I think, only b/c his brother did too.
BTW, I'm reading out loud at night to the big one (the little one falls asleep too early) Joy Hakim's The History of Science. What a wonderful, 3-volume set! Beautiful pictures, short snippets of information. I got that suggestion on this chat site too.
