[quote=Anonymous]OP here are so many books you can try with your strong reader.
Gregor the Overlander Series. DS devoured these last spring when he was 8.  Try Holes too.  This is a good one b/c you can watch the movie after.  The same with Wonder.  DS enjoyed both these books.  He did enjoy the follow up to Wonder (Auggie and Me) better.

He also read, Hatchet (depending on your son this might be too adult for him - kid sees his mom kissing another man, pilot in his plane dies and he has to learn to survive on his own).  Crenshaw, which is about a boy potentially about to experience homelessness. Bud, Not Buddy.  An old book but he really liked it.  Now he is 9 and is finishing up the Fablehaven Series, just started the Five Kingdom Series, and is almost through the Amulet books.

I don't let him read Diary of a Wimpy Kid (we have seen all the movies though).

There are so many great books and book series with strong young male characters that he will be fine without wimpy kid.
