I also was looking for geography resources for around the same age. My ds chose to get Geography for Dummies, which looks like it may be at a good level (above little kid stuff, but not so hard as a high school AP class level).  He also loved Iaian Stewart's Earth, which covered a lot of physical aspects of earth, such as volcanoes and subduction zones and so on. He has seen the film that goes with the book many times over the years.

 

We also got a couple of games, and a geography coloring book by same person who did anatomy coloring book (reasonably high level in other words) and a used copy of a text that someone mentioned and looked good on my other thread should be arriving eventually.

 

I also plan to use the National Geographic education website materials that someone mentioned in another thread I started for maps as needed.

 

If he stays interested beyond these resources we may try the books Farrar suggested.

I'm using a Holt textbook (grades 6-8) as a spine, "The Americas" (I'm sure there are books for other regions, as well.)  Its a textbook...not exciting, but part of my goal was to get my dd reading textbooks.  We add literature, games, map drawing, etc. into our plans, as well, to make the text bearable.   I've been happy with the content.  If you do that, the teacher guide was useless, imo (its not an answer key.)   You would need at least 2 region books to last a year, possibly more.  Just throwing it out there as another option.
