DP - thanks for all of these ideas - I'm definitely going to check out the baseball card series for my boys too!

For my one turning 9 next month, I already bought him as a bday gift Who was Babe Ruth and Who is Derek Jeter based on this thread!

How to Train Your Dragon series - Much easier than Harry Potter.

Your kid seems to like nonfiction, so I'd also recommend:
Nathan Hale's Hazardous Tales
You Wouldn't Want to ___ series.

Yes! This series is great!! DC tore through them all.

From there, we found the author's Genius Files series. Five books -- totally different than the baseball series but every bit as good.

Timmy Failure, by Stephen Pastis (the Pearls before swine guy). Sorta like Wimpy kid (written as a diary with illustrations), but even more bizarre/hilarious.

My son likes a lot of the same books you mentioned.

There's a Canadian graphic novel mystery series called Max Finder that's great.
Another series of about four books by C. Alexander London (one is called We Sled With Dragons)--also great.
And a similarly short series by David Solomons, my son loved those books too. I think one is My Gym Teacher is an Alien Overlord.

My fathers dragon series? A little eAsier than some mentioned.
