Depends on how advanced his or her reading skills are.  Personally, I enjoyed The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy at around that age.  It's a good scaffolding choice because most of the words and concepts could be understood by a child, but some would require help from an adult which gives the child an opportunity to learn.

The fact that it's funny and not dull and overly dramatic will also help to inspire the child to read.  It's a nice break from the ten thousand Lord Of The Ring / Harry Potter magical fantasy adventure books that seem to dominate children's literature these days.

Great ones that are age appropriate are:

A Tree Growns in Brooklyn (My fave)

Huckleberry Fin

Grapes of Wrath

To Kill a Mocking Bird

Of Mice and Men (awesome)
