When my son was 8, I introduced him to the "Encyclopedia Brown" Series of books. He loved them but they are quite easy reading.
I second Harry Potter or Percy Jackson. My son is now 13 and he still loves to read the Big Nate books along with Diary of a Wimpy kid (new one coming in November!)
I also would recommend the Hardy Boys if you can find them. I grew up reading those and they are great.
