minniemarx - I am not famiiar with your suggestions - will check them out. Thanks!
bh14 - I read the first in the Hunger Games series and thought it was OK for him. He loved it. Then I let him read the other two without previewing. Once I got around to them I regretted giving them to my son. I enjoyed them, though.
I think the Ender's Game series is similar. The books get progressively more 'advanced'.
Right now he's reading A Night to Remember. He's not complaining but he didn't read it in one shot, so he doesn't love it.
