My 9 year old heartily recommends Jeff Stone’s 5 ancestor series for active boys. It is like watching a shaolin gongfu flick in words. He raced through the books. Available at NLB.

You can try easier books like Hardy Boys, the adventure books by Willard Price, Roman Mysteries by Caroline Lawrence. I can't remember more as my kids are older now. You could take your son to NL and let him browse.

My boy started with Charles and the chocolate factory by Ronald Dahl. After that he starts reading the rest from the same author.
