I Survived? Probably below reading level, but action with practically no sadness...

 Hello All!   I have a SPED teacher asking me for books that have nothing sad in them.  This is by request of the parent.  The child is in 6th grade and has autism.  He's incredibly intelligent and will only read non--fiction. His mom has been trying to get him to read other genres, but he refuses because he does not like being sad or reading about sad things.  By sad he means death, dying, characters hunting each other down, descriptive war/killing (even though he likes reading non-fiction about history and WWII) or anything darkly suspenseful.
Other than some adventure fantasy like The Emerald Atlas or The Apothecary, I'm drawing a blank.  He loves history and is quite motivated by technology.  
I do a lot of activities in 6th grade that help students move out of their reading comfort zone, so I'm sure as the year goes on he will start to find some fiction he can tolerate.  But for now... HELP!!  😱
Thank you!!
