Dear Katzie,
As I read your post I wasn't sure of which books to recommend, but I've been watching The Way of the Master on television and think their approach, which is different, may help your son. They have books and tracts and tv programmes which are interesting to watch - basically they address a person's conscience and effectively bypass a person's intellectual questions although often they do respond to questions with interesting answers. Everyone has a conscience which helps them know right from wrong. The Way of the Master teaches that God speaks to us through our conscience and by addressing a person's conscience you can share the gospel with them in a way they can understand.
However, i realise it can be important to address some of those intellectual questions too - Way of the Master have printed a conversation between an evolutionist and Ray Comfort, one of their team, so that people can see for themselves the kind of arguments that there are. Since I have questions from time to time that come up, I've found a Creationist magazine interesting - I think it was published by Answers in Genesis. Also, as i'm writing, I remember that I've found watching Christian films helpful with my own son, who has yet to make a commitment - the Nativity story was good.
In addition, here in the UK I went to an Alpha course run by the church where I am now at and found it an excellent way to get to know people and a safe place to ask questions and hear other people ask questions and hear honest answers.
God bless,
