Maybe some narrative non-fiction:  *The Plot to Kill Hitler* by Patricia
McCormick-Lexile 1000 or *Chasing Lincoln's Killer*-Lexile 980 or *Chasing
King's Killer or The President Has Been Shot* by James L. Swanson.

There are other narrative non-fiction titles that may interest him as
well.  *Courage and Defiance* by Deborah Hopkinson-Lexile 1040; *Lincoln's
Grave Robbers* by Steve Sheinkin-930; The *Boys Who Challenged Hitler* by
Phillip Hoose-970; *Nazi Hunters* by Neal Bascomb-1000.  These are some
that I have that are higher level and high interest.
