For him, it's more for college age or at least high school.
What are his interests? How about non-fiction or historical fiction? Is he interested in bugs, animals, reptiles, astronomy?
My grand girly was reading way above grade level at age 5 and that presented a real problem. You can't give them things that will scare them, or things too sophisticated. She ripped through The American Girls series, then lots of books on bugs and animals. How about children's detective novels?

And what kinds of books she likes, but here are some I enjoyed at or near that age:
Little Women
The Phantom Tollbooth (everyone, kid or grownup, should own a copy!)
The Little House on the Prarie books (my mom had read most of them to us when we were younger than 12, but now would be a good time for her to read them on her own.)
Anne of Green Gables
The BFG by Roald Dahl
The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis
The Secret Garden (she might be a little old for this--depends on her reading habits)
Harriet the Spy by Louise Fitzhugh
Jacob Have I Loved by Katherine Paterson
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (she might be just a bit young for this one)
The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle
A Gathering of Days by Joan Blos
Prarie Songs...
