I had a low level 6th grade boy who loved Magic Tree House. Have you tried that or Time Warp Trio? Or the new series by R.L. Stine? (Rotten School, a 3rd grade teacher friend of mine swears by them for her boys...I think they are a level M).
Also check out http://www.guysread.com/. Good luck!

What are his interests and what is about the right level for him?
