Whadda I got to,
whadda I got to do
to wake ya up?

To shake ya up,
to break the structure up!?
You might look into Racket as the language and How to Design Programs to go with it.

Racket is a variant of Scheme Lisp, and HtDP is written for Scheme, so it mostly works. DrRacket is a nice tool to get instant feedback on running things, and Racket has tutorials on the website as well.

HtDP is written for perhaps a higher reading level (depending on how he reads), but you might look into it. I did not learn it when I was that age (I muddled through QBasic back then) but I've read good things about learning Lisp around that age from others.
