He loves the dc Ryan books also streetcat named Bob, he's recently enjoyed the James Herriot series.
He's not really into fantasy/ sci fi although he did love Harry Potter a few years ago.
He's a brilliant reader so preferably something meaty but appropriate.

Thanks @WellTidy that's really helpful

I've bought nearly 12yo DS The London Eye Mystery, The Boy Who Lied and The Star Outside My Window for Christmas. The first two might be a bit young for your DS, but Onjali Rauf is still ok I would think for a 13yo.
