My son is 7 but apparently has a reading age of 14 according to his teacher. He's autistic and has ADHD which makes him very picky, if he finds a book even slightly boring he'll give up immediately. We've somehow ended up with a new bedtime routine where he reads for 2 entire hours before bed each evening so he's immediately run out of books. I'm looking for suggestions that will hopefully be engaging and ideally a series so that he will be able to just pick up the next book instead of having to choose a new one each night.
When he was younger he liked Mr Men and Dr Seuss but he's starting to prefer chapter books now. We read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and The Great Glass Elevator together which he loved but he doesn't seem interested in the rest of the Roald Dahl books (he only read the first two after watching the movies). He is obsessed with Minecraft but doesn't find the Minecraft story books interesting enough. He enjoys absurdist humour and silliness but nothing that feels too "babyish". He has started a few Rainbow Magic books but got bored too easily.
He loves learning and so would probably enjoy some non-fiction, but if it seems too complicated he gives up immediately. He loves maths, science, human biology, neuroscience, psychology, computing, technology, space, animals (especially cats), and nature.
He is quite mature so he can cope with some topics such as death as long as it's written in an age appropriate way. Even a few swear words isn't really a problem if there's any teen books that fit the other requirements. Not sure whether he would enjoy books with monsters because he does like scary video games but also has anxiety when alone in his bedroom. So some light child appropriate horror might be okay.
Also we will likely get him an e-reader so text size doesn't really matter, but anything too focused on images and colours probably wouldn't work.
Thanks in advance!
P.S. would not consider Harry Potter
