Need book suggestions for 5th grader

I going to buy my son some new books for Christmas. He's a very good reader, and likes books loaded with action. He's not very interested in Harry Potter.
Any suggestions?

And what about A Wrinkle in Time!

Or Young Unicorns or the others in the series...

I always liked Young Unicorns.

Great evil threatens the peaceful land of Prydain. Taran, a lowly Assistant Pig Keeper, must battle a diabolical fiend or face the destruction of his beloved home. Accompanied by a host of companions as loyal as they are strange, Taran discovers that being a hero means much more than facing danger. His courageous heart struggles with questions of good and evil, nobility and common birth until ultimately he is forced to make the most crucial decision of his life.
