My students like the Shredderman series. There are 4 books and are at a mid 3 reading level. The hero is a 5th grader and the books are funny.

Horowitz is a British playwright. Alex is a 14-year old James Bond with gadgets and wild adventures. The firsts of the series is "Stormbreaker". This should be read first. It reveals his background and how he became a spy for MI6. The other 6 books are fast paced and exciting to read.
