My son has been reading a ton lately. I'd like to get him a good stash for Christmas, so I'm hoping for recommendations of novels. Series are awesome, but one-offs are also welcome.
He's a very strong reader, well above his age, but content-wise I don't want him to go too advanced. He's currently reading Harry Potter, and has also enjoyed Percy Jackson, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Goosebumps (but he can easily finish two in a day), A Series of Unfortunate Events, and of course Captain Underpants and DogMan.
He did enjoy a couple of Hardy Boys books, but I think the age of them turned him off, so any more modern books like that would be good. Something like age-appropriate X-Files styles books too. But I'm open to all suggestions!

Maniac Magee by Jerry Spinelli was a book I adored around his age. It’s a Newberry winner too.
