I'm not very tuned in to grade levels (my son reads everything from
picture books to IEEE Spectrum magazine), but I think Donald Sobol's
Encyclopedia Brown stories may be what you want.

<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.thrillingdetective.com/eyes/encyclopedia.html" target="_blank">http://www.thrillingdetective.com/eyes/encyclopedia.html</a>
has a nice listing of the series.

According to lexile.com, the lexile ratings for the Encyclopedia Brown
books vary from 560 to 710, which would correspond to 3rd-4th grade
reading levels.

How about the Hardy Boys or Nancy Drew?

The author also has a new mystery series, Shredderman, which would probably
appeal to a fourth grade boy.
