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.

Subject: Target: HS reader's advisory (non-fiction)
Hi everyone,
I am having trouble finding recommendations for one of my students. 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!
TIA,
Jessica Langlois
