He wasn't too interested in the Little House books--maybe too reality-based? DD loved them at this age.
Geronimo Stilton was not a big hit.
I have heard Enid Blyton has the occasional racist bit. Having not done these ones myself as a child, I'm nervous about the unknown.
We still have oodles of glorious picture books in the house, and he sometimes does read them, but these days he wants a book always with him for hardcore reading time.
Oh, also was thinking of trying E. Nesbit. Might be too hard. I'm not sure where he tops out on reading level. He reads some really difficult nonfiction books in his areas of interest, but glazed over on some slow-moving, high-level classics we've tried.
