I'm planning to give my nephew a netbook for birthday/Xmas (hopefully he'll forgive me combining them given the nature of the gift), and among other things I want to start him on ebooks, and he already frequently borrows my tablet for comics.

Does anyone have recommendations for his age group? Much of my collection isn't all that appropriate to his maturity or reading level (which, AFAIK, is right at his grade level, neither behind nor advanced).

I know he likes D&D-style fantasy, and he likes the Wimpy Kid series.

I'll try to include some of my own favorites from around that time like Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH, and a book called Born into Light. Are there any current series along the lines of Encyclopedia Brown or the Mad Scientists Club? I suppose I'll get Harry Potter in there.

Any recommendations? Maybe I'll get some Heinlein juveniles and the Irish Red series in there, too.

I'm also interested in current comics (manga's cool, too) aimed at his age group.
