Mary Stewart's easyreading King Arthur/Merlin cycle might suit him. Howard Pyle's Robin Hood. There are abridged young adult versions of many adventure classics available like Three Musketeers and Ivanhoe and G.A. Henty wrote lots of young adult historical adventures some of which are available at Mobileread. And something I read when I was about his age was Bulfinch's Mythology and it sort of enhanced anything else I read about Athens and Sparta. Other than that, I'd check out the scene for reprints of Classics Illustrated comics.
