He also really enjoyed a couple non fiction accounts written by young soldiers of their experiences during WW II so non fiction is not out of the question. Right now he is starting a series Andy McNab has for young adults so I suppose recommendations along those lines would be what I am looking for.
Anyone have any similar age kids or tastes?

Perlease.... I'm sorry, but how old is he ? I'm afraid you don't give a hint.
No chance of perhaps expanding the range of his reading ? What has formed his inclinations so far ?
I'm not trying to preach here, and I'd be interested in the age - 'cos that would help - for example, do all his peers follow the same course?
It's the 1;10 ratio that's sad - has his school any awareness of this, surely they must have some sort of a reading plan in place.
Or is it perhaps the school/Shakespeare syndrome - get told it's wonderful enough times and you'll never touch it again...
