My 7 year old reads around the 5th/6th grade level. However he is very sensitive so it is getting challenging to find new material for him. Perilous and sad situations are generally out, as well as fantasy type books. Typically he goes for sillier type graphic novels and chapter books.
He has loved:
Wimpy kid
Dog Man
My Weird School
Stick Dog/ Stick Cat
Minecraft stonesword/wood sword books (because he loves Minecraft this is an exception to the no peril rule I guess)
Angry Birds Comics

Dory Fantasmagory! Also Roald Dahl!
The Mad Scientists Club by Bertrand R. Brinley
Geronimo Stilton! Both chapter books and graphic novels
My friend’s sensitive child liked *The Very, Very Far North.*
Maybe *The Penderwicks?* There’s a moment of animal peril but everything turns out fine.
Have you tried *Sideways Stories From Wayside School*? It’s a collection of funny linked short stories so any moment of peril would only last a page or so?
