[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Alex Rider series (6 books I think?)
Charlie Bone series (maybe 12 books?) They are long. I think the first one is about 500 pages. That should keep him busy for a while.
Also The Golden Compass by Phillip Pullman and his subsequent books[/quote]

Not OP but thanks for these ideas![/quote]

Ok, I spoke too soon.  The Alex Rider series seems pretty intense for a second grader . . . .

From Goodreads:

Stormbreaker (Alex Rider #1), by Anthony Horowitz

They told him his uncle died in an accident. He wasn't wearing his seatbelt, they said. But when fourteen-year-old Alex finds his uncle's windshield riddled with bullet holes, he knows it was no accident. What he doesn't know yet is that his uncle was killed while on a top-secret mission. But he is about to, and once he does, there is no turning back. Finding himself in the middle of terrorists, Alex must outsmart the people who want him dead. The government has given him the technology, but only he can provide the courage. Should he fail, every child in England will be murdered in cold blood.

Skeleton Key (Alex Rider #3), by Anthony Horowitz

Alex Rider has been through a lot for his fourteen years. He's been shot at by international terrorists, chased down a mountainside on a makeshift snowboard, and has stood face-to-face with pure evil. Twice, young Alex has managed to save the world. And twice, he has almost been killed doing it. But now Alex faces something even more dangerous. The desperation of a man who has lost everything he cared for: his country and his only son. A man who just happens to have a nuclear weapon and a serious grudge against the free world. To see his beloved Russia once again be a dominant power, he will stop at nothing. Unless Alex can stop him first... Uniting forces with America's own CIA for the first time, teen spy Alex Rider battles terror from the sun-baked beaches of Miami all the way to the barren ice fields of northernmost Russia. Come along for the thrilling ride of a lifetime.
