Scholastic Paperbacks
The Gaurdians of Ga'hoole books are pretty great and meant for kids around that age. There are 15 or so books and each one is only 100-150 pages. Its all about an owl who breaks tradition to save the world from his evil brother.
Never read them myself, but I've heard good things about The Legend of the Guardians Series. I loved the movie so I'd definitely give the books a try!
And even though everyone has already said it, DEFINITELY DEFINITELY WITHOUT A DOUBT HARRY POTTER WHEN HE GETS OLDER! :) Every kid should grow up at Hogwarts...
Some of my favorites when I was around 10 or so:
city of ember
Anthem
Guardians of Gahoole
Count of monte cristo This is the ebook which is free but perhaps an abridged version would be better. Also many of these classics are a bit brutal so perhaps when she gets a bit older.
Many of these are about failed utopias, and if she likes series of unfortunate events City of Ember is would be a good pairing.
If she likes animals she may like the Guardians of Ga'hoole series and its follow up set in the same universe; Wolves of the Beyond. Guardians has a fantasy spin with owls battling with blades and armor.
Every book in The Guardians of Ga'hoole Series, which is about an owl society on the bring of war. Teaches a lot of moral and life lessons, but in the disguise of owls. I loved this series as a child.
Matilda, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach, Fantastic Mr. Fox, and any other book written by Roald Dahl. Just a warning for The Witches (although I couldn't find it in Kindle Format), it really spooks some children. I tried to read it to my little cousins and it just outright scared them. Although they are skiddish in the first place.
The Tale of Despereaux, Which is a book about a mouse (Desperaux) who goes on a quest to save a human princess. Great book.
The Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, I'm not sure if this is too old for him or not, but it's super cute. And a real boy book too.
If he hasn't read them yet, every Dr. Seuss book ever.
Ella Enchanted, absolutely loved this one too. I re-read it countless times when I was younger.
The Phantom Tollbooth, which is just another great book!
