I'm not sure if these are appropriate for your student's reading level, but he may enjoy The Kite Runner, Maisie Dobbs, or Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime. Although, these titles are classified as fiction, they are realistic and very entertaining. I believe all of these are past ALEX award winners, too. Hope this helps.

I have found a few, but if anyone could think of more I would appreciate it. This student is a sophomore from Spain, and he hasn't found anything he likes here yet, so I really want to impress him. The last few books he liked in Spain were narrative non-fiction. One was about a reporter who went undercover as a neo-Nazi, one was about a man who was in some work accident and it was about his injuries and recovery, and one was about a former drug addict. His English is pretty good although he struggles sometimes, so it can't be anything with too high of a reading level. However, as you can see, he likes the more mature themes. I have tried the usual RA sources but those are better for fiction. If anyone has any great ideas I will be very grateful!
